| 212 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/AP.16.11.36. We note you suggest using cantilever pedals on the Bentley. What is the relative cost of cantilever pedals to standard pedals.? Are you satisfied that the cantilever design is as simple as possible.? How does this compare with the Chevrolet.? You should also go into the question of whether it is uneconomical to use loose starter motor rings on the Wraith. We should like to know what your conclusions are. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
