| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}12/KW. 26.9.35. Bentley Brake Drum with Helical Ribs. We have made another drawing of a brake drums with helical ribs by your request, and have taken the opportunity to make one or two alterations. This drum will require a special end plate, which we hope you will be able to make out of a standard one. We are particularly anxious for you to make a near side brake drum to this drawing as soon as possible, as we are naturally disappointed that the previous drums were a failure.
