We are very anxious to have a complete weight analysis of the Continental Bentley. Some of these weights are already known, and we propose dismantling 14.B.V. to obtain others. We shall require a rear axle, will you please arrange to loan one from Archer, if we have no spare semi-floating type. Craster and Hallam will let you know the sections which require dismantling and we should be glad if you would co-operate with them. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
