| X 250 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}8/KW.3.10.34. Bentley Steering. You will recollect that you agreed you would stiffen up the pendulum lever shaft on the Peregrine steering to reduce the sponge and enable us to use this on the Bentley without loss of selectivity. If you would let us have a scheme for this we could get it on Bentley 5 which will be starting 10,000 miles in about a month's time.
