| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} 261 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}4/AP.5.6.37 BRAKES. Flt. Lt. Standiland's Bentley. We want to make the same alterationsto Flt.Lt. Staniland's Bentley that we have recently instructed for B.56.BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Will you please build up a pair of drums Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}336 for him. The rear drums will have to be soaked for 20 hours at 190°C. and new liners GB.2404 fitted, nickel plated, with .026 to .030 shrink fit. In order not to keep his car too long it may be necessary to swap the rear drums on his car and B.56.BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} It is therefore important to tackle B.56.BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} as soon as possible; we are not certain when Staniland's car is coming in. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
