PETERS & SONS (INCORPORATED) JGO/VFS. March 25th. 1936. Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Rowbottom. As requested by Mr. ER. Hall, we are enclosing quarter scale drawing of rear section of the Body for his "BENTLEY" Chassis to show you where the filler of petrol tank should be fitted. You will see from the drawing that the neck of the filler is slightly staggered to enable it to be quite sure of clearing the side of the body tail. When we have mounted the Body on the Chassis, we shall cut a hole in the body fairing (giving reasonable clearance round the neck of the filler) to position shown to the dotted lines of our sketch. Yours faithfully, For OFFORD & SONS LTD. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Inder Offord | ||
