| X24583. A.{Mr Adams} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/M13.4.33. O.{Mr Oldham} to SO. WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} ES. H-HEV. LID{A. J. Lidsey} 3.5 LITRE BENTLEY CHASSIS PRINT. We send herewith R.{Sir Henry Royce} sch. 3727. showing the chassis print for the 3.5 litre Bentley. Of necessity some of the information has not been completed due to our lack of knowledge about some of the parts. It will be necessary for Derby to carefully go over this drawing, checking all the dimensions and correcting them where necessary, adding also those which we have left out. The cross path covered by the side levers needs to be shown in plan. The dimensions of the shape and height of the pot on the dashboard are also missing. We are not sure what wheels are being used, but we have shown 18" rims and 5.5 tyres. xxxxxxx We also would like Derby to make the scuttle isolation print based on the R.{Sir Henry Royce} sch. which they have already received.
