Bentley V Production.
250 sets.
cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}

Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} estimated that an average of ten chassis per week would be required throughout the year, which meant that more than this number would have to be produced per week, in view of our period production.
RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/JRD. considered it would be difficult to commence production, due to shortage of tools, until the end of January.

It was decided that the whole matter should be reviewed, especially in regard to tools, so that a decision could be made next week.
