| To Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} from EH. EH2/LG7.6.19. X.3400D. X.5429 With reference to attached, the short connecting rods on 49-GB have now run 4350 miles. We have another set of these rods fitted to chassis 1.E.X. This chassis so far has only run 50 miles. We anticipate it will be 2 weeks before we have a car engine fitted to a test bench. EH. | ||
