Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Stamped: HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} O.{Mr Oldham} BHG. Typed: Bentley Chassis : Propeller Shaft Damper. With reference to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/AP.2.12.36, the propeller shaft damper which will be fitted on the Bentley is the same one as at present fitted on the 25/30 H.P., and there would be no scrap in standardising the damper on Bentley production chassis, as the present standard flange at the front end can be used at the rear.
