| To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} Copy to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Martindale. Re Bentley Brake Temperatures. We have not got a set of wheel discs inner and outer for the Bentley in Derby, and it is desired to test the effect of wheel discs on brake temperatures. Would you kindly send to Derby, for the attention of Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Martindale, a set of discs suitable for the Bentley. If you happen to have a secondhand set this would do admirably. In any case we only need to be supplied with a set for four wheels if you think the saving of the fifth wheel worth while. We would like these as soon as possible as we are urgently engaged in brake efficiency tests. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
