| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X541 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}17/KW.5.4.35. 25 HP. Servo Suspension Bracket. N.Sch.4406, which was issued recently but has not yet been detailed, shows a new method of applying friction to the suspension bracket of the Bentley servo. We should like to have a similar scheme on the 25 HP. which will be going to France soon. If there is sufficient time, will you please adapt and detail the above scheme for the 25 HP. and fit to the 20,000 miles car. The only important difference between the Bentley and 25 HP. is that the 25 HP. has a longer suspension bracket. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
