| + 206 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/KW.8.6.34. Will you please make two pairs of cams to the attached Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1420/1 and two pairs of levers to EX.12676/7. These modifications to the Bentley brake layout allow us to work at a higher torque multiplication so that drops in servo efficiency will not alter the percentage of front braking. If one set could be ready by Tuesday we should very much like to fit them to Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}'s car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
