| X204 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} TO:E.R.W....FROM EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} copy to L.W.H-W., Mr. Hives Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re:- BENTLEY - ---- Front Body Brackets. We discovered that when Derby mounted the Experimental Bentley Bodies, they fitted an extra body bracket about 6 inches behind the dash. We were not aware of this until some while ago, when it was discovered by Messrs. Park Ward. As this bracket appears to be necessary, we suggest that we should supply and fit it and we enclose herewith a Tracing, showing the position of the bracket and the position of the hole in the bracket relative to the frame. We would like this bracket fitted standard as soon as possible and suggest that By might be able to arrange to use an existing pressing. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} --- ENCL: | ||
