| c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 200B 456 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}7/G.2.11.37. BENTLEY 111 WHEELS. GRY{Shadwell Grylls} - Does this satisfy you. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} The Bentley tyres are 6.5 x 16, mounted on 4½" rims. A drawing of the rim, Dunlop Drg. No. R.S.O.458 is attached. The original drawings of the wheels are shown on N.Schs. 5178 and 5191. The details require making to these drawings, with the exception of the rims, which are as the above Dunlop drawing. As the wheels are said to be a long job, it will be deisrable to push the details forward as far as possible. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
