| To MHC. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} x201 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}17/KW5.1.34. Bentley Front Axles. --------------------- We want to fit front axles with a 4° transverse pivot lean to all our cars. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is not willing to standardise this axle after testing on one car only. We require it not only for steering, but because of the better prevention of oil leaks on to the front brakes. Will you therefore fit these axles when possible to cars in the shop.
