Huckerby}20.7.38. BENTLEY III DASHBOARD. In the past we have always had the windscreen wiper motor fitted on the O.S. of the dashboard. This space has now been taken up by the inspection lamp and switch on Bentley III, and it is the intention of the Design Dept. to fit the wiper motor on the N.S. of the dashboard. We believe that no notification has been made to the coachbuilders of this proposed change, 8.B.V. and 1.B.50 bodies having arrived with the motors fixed in the old position. Will you please have arrangements made so that future bodies are built to suit the altered position. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
