| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} BY/Cgh.{W Clough}4/W.4.6.36. BENTLEY CHASSIS - PISTON SCRAPER RINGS. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}22/KW.26.5.36, as you are aware, pistons for the Bentley chassis are bought out complete with gudgeon pins and piston rings, but we are not sure which firm supplied you with turned scraper rings for testing out. If you will let us know the name of the firm in question we will then arrange for 50 sets to be ordered as suggested. We should imagine that you have ordered them from Light Production Company, but if not it might be worth while doing so. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
