| To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} 261.s.s. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.4.38. SQUADRON LEADER STANILAND. The above owner's Bentley is fitted with a 3 pin servo. We hand you a modern servo to replace it, so as to improve the consistency of his brakes. We think that the latest iron drums should be fitted to his car (obtainable from production), a pair of short anti-judder levers, and BZ brake linings.
