| 841. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.26.4.38. BENTLEY 50 SERVO MOTOR. We are somewhat concerned with the fact that the servo for the B.50 is an entirely new design, and if we do not have an opportunity to test it before it is fitted to the car, it may delay road tests. We should be glad, therefore, if you could look into the matter, and see if you could let us have a servo motor fitted up on a part-machined gearbox so that we can conduct some tests on it.
