| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} + 200b 422. 16th. November 1937. BENTLEY III ENGINE MOUNTING. Regarding the position of the front raised engine mounting, the mathematical calculations of the Design and Expl. Depts. are at variance to the extent of .250". The offset distance from the engine centre line according to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/WB.{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell}2/CB.15.11.37 should be 1.920" but according to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}15/G.1.11.37, 1.670". Perhaps you will discuss these figures with the people concerned. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
