Bentley Tool Kit. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}9/KW 5.3.35. We have considered your proposals for revising the Bentley tool kit with a view to saving weight and deleting unnecessary tools. We agree with your recommendations and Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} would like you to put your suggestions into operation as soon as possible. The alterations are such as would hardly make it worth while to incur any scrap in the process, and we will leave it to you to arrange the introduction in this manner, advising us when the new scheme will take effect. You will no doubt let us hear further when you have arrived at a decision concerning the lightening of the Dunlop jack. Bs.{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} | ||
