Re: Bentley Chassis B.65.JT. - Smiley. [Stamped: JAN 24 A.M. 1939] Thanks for your note Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}6/N.20.1.39. I agree that the transfer holes are not a complete solution, as eventually there is a possibility that the whole of the three chambers may get completely filled, and which [strikethrough] thus [handwritten] I have pointed out to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} In practice of course this very rarely happens. We are going further into the matter. [Signature] Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} W.A.R | ||
