HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}12/G.7.6.39. [Signature] File BENTLEY 'CORNICHE'. EXHAUST SYSTEM. With reference to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}12/G.6.6.39. the Bentley V.{VIENNA} Tail Pipe is not suitable for the 'Corniche', because of the different construction of the rear of the chassis, though all the other details of the exhaust system are alike. The Tail pipe must therefore be made to E.CD.1379 which has already been issued. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
