| 261 W/S. Bly.{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/R.28.9.37. W.R. Nimmo, Esq. We made a special cylinder head for Vandervell in order to get his order. Making special cylinder heads is a bit of a nuisance and to be discouraged, but possibly, as Bentley sales are getting rather hard to obtain, the Administration might consider it worth while. There is no difficulty about the job. An alternative would be to supply this cylinder head at a small extra cost to cover the trouble. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
