| To BY/Cgh.{W Clough} x222 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.13.9.34. Will you please let me have the drawing numbers and L.O.P's of the rubber mounting which you are actually issuing for production on the Bentley cars, including the pedal arrangement. I am particularly anxious to reproduce the spherical mounting of the propellor shaft in the gearbox and also the other details of the rubber mounting, on a London Trials car, before you get cars on test, so that we can make sure no mistake has been made. I do not think we shall find that our 10,000 miles parts were quite in line with what is being issued for production. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
