Martindale}4/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.2.39. BENTLEY BUMP CHASSIS. The rebuild of this chassis has been proceeding very slowly. We have agreed to cancel instructions for fitting such items as are not available (petrol tank and tin dash) and will test these later. The bump tests are very important. Can you see if you can urge completion of this chassis. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
