Pivot Changeover for Bentley. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW.4.1.35. & last Paragraph. Sales tell us that they are concentrating at once on carrying out the pivot job. At the same time they also wish to undertake the other modification which have been suggested, and with regard to water excluders to the brake drums they ask:- 1. Are the tests of the new excluders completed? 2. Can a supply of any material to be fitted be sent and in what quantities to K.{Mr Kilner}? 3. How soon will they have it? 4. Will the excluders require painting? 5. Note - Black can possibly be easily managed at K.{Mr Kilner} but for the many fancy colours, the respective coachbuilders will be involved. The point is they are anxious to tell customers how long we shall require their cars for all this work to be undertaken. Will you please let me know quickly what we can say?
