DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/49.12.31. [Handwritten: Y4.33.] In view of R's suggestion that we use oil-less bushes for the spring shackles, and at other suitable places, to avoid complication on PeregrineExperimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine, we would be glad if you could send us a catalogue of such bearings, and a sample. We presume that for the shackles the Silent-Bloc is the one he has in mind, such as is used by Humber. In the meantime we go on with PeregrineExperimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine as designed, but with "grouped oilers" attached to the lubrication pipes in the place of the dashboard pump.
