To Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/MH.{M. Huckerby}4.8.38.

We should like you to get out an analysis as to where the Jaguar is lighter than the Bentley, and vice versa.

As an example, the cylinder block is lighter because the engine is shorter; the cylinder head is heavier because it is deeper.

A brief summary of the weights with notes on these lines is what is required.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
