Referring to E.8/HP.19.9.33 we have already arranged to bring in the same connecting rod for the 20/25 and Bentley at B.2. series on the 20/25. We had not attempted to do anything with A.2. series, as the stuff was well forward, and we did not think the call for it was sufficiently urgent, but if it is desired to bring it in somewhere in A.2. series, which consists of 200 chassis, we will make enquiries and find out where this will be possible, i.e. beyond which point connecting rods have been drilled.
