| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} - Kingsbury. 1113 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GR.{George Ratcliffe}8/JH.30.6.37/. Bentley 4¼ Litres. Throttle spring E.51875. Alterations are being carried out by E/PSN. Attention was again drawn to the fact that the spring pulls off in the wrong direction, thus increasing the load on the throttle spindle and bearings. This condition is worse on the large carburettors. Carburettor flange joint washer. We do not agree to additional rings in the bolt holes, as this would develope leaks at the centre of the joint.
