| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. 16134 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.8/MA.2.10.34. BENTLEY STARTER MOTOR. As an experiment in order to overcome the tendency for the Bijur drive sticking in gear after starting up the car we wish to try a Bendix sleeve and nut having a larger helix angle. We attach herewith prints EL30 and EL31 and we shall be glad if you will arrange for two sets of each to be made for fitting to an experimental motor for test. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
