The D.O. have given us a fortnight in which to clear up the final instructions for :- (1) Exhaust system, (2) Fan, for the Bentley. You have both these jobs in hands, will you please, therefore, arrange to get a specification "cut & dried" by the date in question. We should get the new type of c.o. fitted to a Bentley and see if we can improve the exhaust fumes in the body. (if any). Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
