Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}2/KW.22.1.35.

We wish to have a scaled down type Peregrine steering on the Bentley Bump Chassis. For this purpose we propose to use the steering removed from chassis 5 Per.II, and which is at present in the Exptl. Garage.

Will you please make the necessary parts to bring this steering into line with the one at present on 5-B-IV, i.e., strengthened rocking shaft to N.Sch.4216, and 7.500 pendulum lever as recently instructed for this chassis.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy.
