| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 12-04 BY.6/G.3.6.37. RE: DURALUMIN HUBS ON MY BENTLEY. I am having the hubs finished completely by the Dunlop Co., but it will be necessary for me to have two special nuts and one or two other small fitments in accordance with the drawings which I am handing you herewith. The Dunlop Co. would like to have the two nuts GB.2695/6 to enable them to cut the thread on the hubs to suit same, in other words they will use the nuts as gauges. Could you please let me have these through within the next fortnight. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
