| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X570 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.6/JH.24.2.36. Flexibly Bladed Fans for Bentley & 20/25. In our original memo. re the above we asked for fans suitable for Bentley & 20/25 cars (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.10/KW.6.11.35. You have now completed one set of blades, which was to be fitted on 6-B-IV. However, we think that we could try this fan with more sucess on 22-G-V.{VIENNA} Will you therefore have it built up with a suitable hub etc. ( a std. 20/25 fan hub drilled for six bolt fan flange will do) and fitted to 22-G-V while it is in the shop (car is going into shop today).
