| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 4228 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} S/KW. 2.2.35. Isolated Gear Levers on the Bentley. We have asked you to make two sets of parts to the original scheme of isolated gear lever. Hardy has now been over his drawings and made one or two minor modifications which are shown on N.Sch.4355 attached. The majority of the parts are the same as previously. In addition to the two sets you are making to the original scheme, will you please make 4 further sets incorporating the modifications shown on this scheme. This improvement is badly needed on both the 20/25 and the Bentley. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
