| 6135 BP/RB.{R. Bowen} c.c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. E.1/HP.19.6.37. Instrument Boards. This is to confirm that you are going ahead to produce a modified design of instrument board mainly based on the Phantom, but with the addition of the carburetter control and petrol pump switch in the patch. It is hoped that this modified patch will then be used on all of our productions. In the case of the Bentley a tachometer will be added to the equipment as an independent instrument with its own system of illumination. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} CONTINUED:- | ||
