| c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Sft.{Mr Swift} BY.11/G.14.7.33. 3¼ LITRE BENTLEY CHASSIS. Apparently we are still short of the following designs :- (1). Change to exhaust system as agreed in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s Office, Tuesday, 11th. July, involving a new baffle in the rear box with the exhaust outlet passing under the axle. (2). Particulars of side steering tube springs - these are to be stronger. (3). Proposed scheme for common petrol drain in carburetter and air silencer. (4). Change to brake leverages by introducing 40/50 lever, but what the lever is and where it is situated we have no information. With these exceptions we have done our best to clear up everything with Sft.{Mr Swift} and Order Office for the list of items covered at the discussion. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
