Bentley / Mr Barrington}Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Piston Seizures on the Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E10.4.35 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.4.4.35 I note the suggestion made regarding extra piston lubrication and, before replying, waited a few days to see if anybody raised any objection. As such is not the case I presume that all concerned agree and I should, therefore, be glad if BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will give me information as soon as possible as to how soon the modification will be introduced on production. Is it also going to be introduced on 20/25's? Sg.{Arthur F.
