Discs for Wire Wheels - Bentley V.{VIENNA} & Wraith III. ------------------------------------ We send herewith PD.336 shewing the designs for discs on the outside of the wheel only, for wire wheels of Bentley V.{VIENNA} and Wraith lll. The design of this disc is based on a sample supplied to us by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}, and which we understand has been satisfactory on test. We believe it is proposed to supply as standard this disc on Bentley V.{VIENNA} With respect to the Wraith, it might be desired to make a sample and supply it to Sales, telling them it is available in place of the Cornercroft disc if they desire it. A print of PD.336 is attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}'s memo. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
