| x4522 To EY. from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c.c. EY. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ms. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.28.11.34. Front Stabiliser on Bentley. The front number plate on Mr Fairey's car is rather obscured by the stabiliser bumper. Dropping the number plate 1" on the present fixings improves the visibility a little but does not seem enough and reduces ground clearance. We, therefore, suggest that the plate should be carried on the bumper-spring bar where it is perfectly visible and attach N. Sch.4277 shewing suggested brackets, lined with rubber to insulate from the spring bar, for the purpose of trying one out. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
