| To: Lm/Mtn - Derby AJP. 1.MOP. 14. 11. 1966 You are quite right in the assumption made in your letter of 8th November, that I have access to information on the 3½ litre Bentley used by E.R. Hall. In point of fact there are, in our archives, five files on this subject and the enclosed power curve is one which gives the history of power development on the engine through the several races in which it took part. I doubt if Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has any more information than is contained in these files apart from his own peculiar reminiscences which, no doubt, would be extremely useful and to say the least, very colourful. If at any time it will help you to peruse this "mine of information" available to us I shall be only too pleased to welcome you here to see us. Jack Pelly. AJP. | ||
