| To BY from E/JNK. c. Hcr. Hft. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E/JNK./HP.1.7.33. re Bentley At a Conference held at Brooklands it was decided to camouflage some of the parts to get away from RR. features, and we have dealt with two of the items. (1) The rubber pedal pads to have the letter "B" moulded on the face, which we have drawn to LeC.3550. (2) The valve cover and tappet cover nuts to be of a different shape, which we have drawn to LeC.3551. This makes these parts no longer similar to the 20-HP, which is to be regretted from a quantity production view point. Please refer to C.15/C.15.6.33. E/JNK. | ||
