Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.15.2.35. Bentley Front Brake Water Excluders. Will you please note that N.Sch.4370 has been issued to prevent the water entering the brake drum by the camshaft hole. Will you please make the parts so that we can try them out, and at the same time put some pieces through for the sets of water excluders we are at present making. Incidentally we should be glad to know when the dozen sets of water excluders will be ready, as Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is anxious to get some on Trials cars etc. We also want to run a set on the Bump to ensure that they are mechanically strong.
