HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & HPN. 4027 PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) STEERING COLUMN. To avoid the difficulty with the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) (and also J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} 3.) steering columns, that when the column is adjusted the pedal assembly is interfered with, we have made V. {VIENNA} sch. 3691. herewith, showing a sheet metal bracket spanning the gap on the dashboard through which the steering column passes, thus enabling adjustments on the column to be made without interfering with the suspension of the pedal beam. A similar arrangement could be made on J. {Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. TA. [Stamp] RECEIVED 23 FEB 1940 | ||
