F.{Mr Friese} DODD BENTLEY "CRESTA" - 4.B.50. Attached herewith is FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}376 shewing the Bentley "Cresta" front wheels on full bump and full lock. The scheme was made for us to determine the clearance for the inner valances of the front wings and the wing stays. No details are required, but we suggest that Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} should send a print to Park Wards with an explanation to enable them to get the correct wing shapes. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
