| 200 W/S. Ex. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}5/R.1.11.38. 'M' SERIES BENTLEY. With regard to your telephone conversation this afternoon concerning ride complaints on these cars, nothing has been done to either the springs or the shock absorbers which is different from 'L' Series. With the correct pressures for the new larger tyres of 25 front and 28 rear when cold, the ride should not be noticeably different from previous cars. LA.{L. A. Archer} confirms that he has not noticed any difference. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
