Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}8/R.3.6.38. WRAITH STEERING. The steering of Bentley III is remarkably free from joggle or road shock, and we suspect that this may be partly due to type of valve used in the front dampers. We wish to try Bentley III front damper valves in Wraith front dampers. Will you please detail the necessary parts for trial. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev.
