Bailey - Chief Engineer} g.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 206- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}13.4.38. BENTLEY IIA REAR EQUALIZER. GCD.529. This has been criticised on the grounds that assembly is difficult. Before we rush into the instruction of other schemes we would like a second unit building up with the clearance between the threads as shown on the drawing. The first one was not assembled to drawing. If it still is difficult to assemble we may have to alter it. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
