| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DAL/M7.12.32. 124/ C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} DOH. HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} - BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) 3rd. CROSSMEMBER. R {Sir Henry Royce} /SCH. 3567. X4553 Replying to BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /OEH4/G281132, we agree that in some ways the frame side member shewn on the above R. {Sir Henry Royce} scheme is not to scale. We do not think however that it will be necessary to taper the bottom flange of the cross member in the way you suggest, and we have accordingly made R. {Sir Henry Royce} sch. 3616, showing how we suggest the modifications might be carried out.
