Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re Bentley - All Rubber Engine Mounting. We send you herewith:- LeC.4457 showing the top water connections. LeC.4458 showing the bottom water pipe and drain cock. These have been arranged with plenty of flexibility in the connections, to allow for engine movement. Also herewith:- LeC.4459 showing our proposal for the throttle controls. The modification allows the engine to move about without affecting the throttle under idling conditions. This should be compared with the experimental scheme in which these controls are carried on a cantilever, which has the same object in view. Instructed 16-4-35 [Signature] E/JNR.{Charles L.
