| 202 To HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}, from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/AP.29.12.36. BENTLEY REAR AXLE. Confirming our conversation with you, we should like to send parts to N.Sch.4985 out to France for 3.B.1V. or 6.B.1V. as soon as possible. This means detailing four pieces. We think the cover holding the oil seal can be made out of the Wraith forging. If not, perhaps we could turn one from the solid, no milling being required.
