| 446 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}37/JH.18.8.38. BENTLEY III FRONT SUSPENSION. The spherical bearing brackets and caps FB.364/8/9 are made in cast steel. We would like to try a set in aluminium (RR.50 or other suitable alloy) The load in them is slight. As presumably we have no patterns for these pieces in Derby, we hope you will be able to use some finished pieces as patterns and thus save time. They will be tested on the bump chassis.
