| To HMC. 4553 Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}23/KW.17.7.34. Head Lamp and Wing Movement on the Bentley. As you know, head lamp and wing movement on the Bentley is one of the most objectionable features of the car. As a result of experiments carried out on 3-B-IV E.has given us a cross member to go between the head lamps, R.Sch. 4124. We understand from By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} that he has already issued the forging details and the others are following on. We should be glad if you could put half a dozen sets of forgings in hand and urge one complete set of parts through, which will be fitted to Bentley 1. This car is an exceptionally bad example of the trouble. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
