Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c..to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.10/MA.12.2.34. BENTLEY REVOLUTION INDICATORS. In accordance with instructions received from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} we submitted to him a sample revolution indicator dial for the Bentley chassis with the segment between 4,500 and 5,000 R.P.M. coloured all red. At present the red marking only fills up the actual scale divisions. We have now received a reply from Sales to the effect that this is exactly what they require and we should be glad if you will arrange for this dial alteration to be introduced on production as soon as possible. We are sending you a sample dial herewith for your inspection. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
