| x206 To Rg.{Mr Rowledge} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}7/JH.13.3.36. Bentley Front Brake Drums. Prior to standardisation, we want your estimate of the increased cost (if any) of maching these drums to the altered dimension shown on the attached drawing. We have looked indo the matter carefully with Mr. Broome, and there will be no difficulty in obtaining this increased rib height from castings we have in hand.
