Will you please let us have the weights of say twelve of the latest Bentley chassis delivered to Coachbuilders. In EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn.13/MH.{M. Huckerby}28.8.33, you gave us the weights, front and rear, of some of the first Bentley chassis to be despatched from the Works, and against these figures we should like to compare those of some of the latest chassis.
