| To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}, v-109 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.1/KW.10.5.35. Supercharged Bentley Units. Now that two sets of gears of 29/6 ratio have arrived from America, we should like one set fitting to B-12 unit and the other to B-14 in 3-B-IV. We shall not be ready with 3-B-IV for a day or two, but in the meantime you could be making what new pieces will be necessary. We understand that the new gears require modified spindles.
