| 206 To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c. to HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}5/AP.3.2.37. BENTLEY BRAKE DRUMS. At the last Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} conference, it was decided that it was necessary to test some Bentley rear drums with taller ribs, and in consequence drawing GB.2635 has been prepared. We want to get four such drums in "Chromidium" from the Midland Motor Cylinder Co.Ltd. A new pattern will be required. We should prefer that this should remain our property, if it can be arranged.
