Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} BY.1/G.3.11.36. 4¼ LITRE BENTLEY CHASSIS - B.242-GA. & B.115-GP. RE: BREEDEN STABILIZER BUMPERS - Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}9/HR.31.10.36. There are two schemes under test :- (a). Making the lead weight in antimonial lead. (b). Using a ⅜" rubber packing compressed to ¼". I should recommend fitting antimonial lead weights to both the above, this must increase the life of the weight considerably and may apparently be a complete solution. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, whose scheme it is, will supply the weights. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten text on left margin]: GWH{George W.
