| K261 To Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to C. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KW.1.5.36. Raymond Mays' 4 1/4 litre Bentley. With reference to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E.30.4.36. A scheme drawing has now been produced by the Design Dept. for the aluminium brake drums, front and rear, and also for an alteration to the brake linkage to overcome axle jaggers, based on experimental tests. We should prefer to fit this scheme to Raymond Mays' car, rather than purely experimental parts. The detailing will be finished next week, after which we will push the parts along.
