| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} r 207. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}1/AP.29.12.36. O.H.C. BENTLEY. We are at present running the cam balancer recently adapted from a standard Bentley, on the above engine. The results shew straight away, that it will be worth while running this on the road. Will you therefore please produce a suitable sheet-metal casing to cover the balancer so that the mechanism may be suitably lubricated. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C.
