| -3- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.31.12.35. (13) Composite Brake Drums. We should like to get a pair of these finished as per Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}18/KW.20.12.35. (14) Boxed-in Bentley Chassis. We should like your opinion as to the prospects of getting this completed. Design are following on with various better Bentley frame designs, and unless we can get our tests completed before these drawings are issued, they are valueless.
