| x4050 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW. 21.3.35. We are trying to get some small wheels on the Bentley. Attached are drawings of 4" and 4 1/2" rims, 16" wheels. Will you please superimpose these upon our Bentley front and rear axles so that we can see what we are likely to run into with regard to cross steering tube and brake drum fouls.
