| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x 206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/APM.11/JH.1.7.36. Control of Bentley. As the result of recent experiments on 5-B-IV, we have become interested in N.Sch.4333, which has the axle controls on Bentley front axle moved outwards. Will you please build up a complete set of parts called for in this scheme; we see that you have 4 axle forgings already made. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/APM. | ||
