Coverley - Production Engineer}1/MC.30.8.38. we are obliged for the schedule attached to same, but there is no need to feel any alarm in regard to the position of Bentley 111. It is agreed that we have less chassis available, but this is deliberate, as we restricted ourselves to one chassis until we knew fairly accurately that this was reliable. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Signature] | ||
