Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM. G.W.H. B. 56. BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} BENTLEY I went up to Paris this week-end to see how the Bentley bearings were progressing. The bedding in by hand is a slow process, however they have bedded the lower halves and were well on with the top halves when I left. I am hoping that it will be completed to-day. Allen has promised to send the case and crank down as soon as completed. We have received the Pistons which were sent direct to Châteauroux. ---------- GWHancock. G.W.H. | ||
