| 257. To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}8/JH.13.3.37. The Bentley Petrol Tank Support. Following our discussion this morning regarding the scheme. N.Sch.3945 (1934) for easy removal of the Bentley petrol tank. The standardisation sheet for this has been held up. We would be glad if you would get out a scheme similar to that on the P.III, using if possible the P.III outside flange plate F.88021 this being 2d. cheaper than the present Bentley piece F.57819 and the Bentley inside reinforcing plate F.57817 which is a pressing whereas that on the P.III F.88023 is turned from solid bar.
