(struck through) E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}1/HP.23.2.37. Bentley Chassis. We attach herewith a list of the design work completed on the Bentley chassis during the last month, and also particulars of design work in hand. Instructions for the modification to the frame welding, decided to be necessary as the result of a visit by technical representatives of Messrs. Rubery Owen, have been completed. Generally design attention has not been directed on the Bentley chassis owing to a concentration of effort on Wraith. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} ATT: | ||
