By/Mtn. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/AP.12.1.38 BENTLEY CAMSHAFT It was agreed at the Conference yesterday that the improved performance camshaft EB.3240 can be brought on Production at 101 in M, providing no trouble is experienced on o.B.1V. in France. We understand from Neum that camshafts for the first 50 cars on M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} are now up to grinding and there will be no difficulty about introducing a modification on M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} cars providing we hold up the second half of the series now. Will you therefore please arrange for this. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
