| x4533 To By/Cgh{W Clough}: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}25/KW.21.1.35. Bentley Chassis - 'E' Series Material: With reference to By/Cgh.{W Clough}10/G.15.1.35. We are not standardising the rear axle with the race integral with the pinion, item 6, because we have not had sufficient experience with it. With regard to item 5, we have also never even made one of these. We are putting one through as quickly as possible, and shall run it on the pump. As far as we know we have had no customers' complaints. We have sent sheets through for the other items, but the cantilever pedals will require the spherical attachment to the frame. We shall be glad if you will issue details of this to us as quickly as possible, so that we may get them fitted to our cars before the parts come through on production.
