| -2- The three bodies required for the balance of the six chassis, to be :- (a) A coupé to shew up the effect of the stiffer frame, and whether the frame might be improved for this type of body. (b) The remaining two to be in accordance with Park Ward and Co's production body proposals for quantities for Bentley III. BENTLEY 50. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} looked over the schemes for bodies and agreed to try and get Park Ward and Co. to produce a body with modified treatment of the body form where it runs into the boot, the object being to produce a step back in reversed curves to the line of the boot to destroy the straight line shewn by the side in plan. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} also arranged to inform Hn. {F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} what to do re second body. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
