BENTLEY CHASSIS - RE: WEAR OF SERRATIONS IN HUB AND DRIVER.
++++---------------------

It is very important that we should obtain information in regard to the amount which it will be necessary to broach or slot the hubs to in order to enable us to deal with the customers complaints in regard to knocking in the drivers.

I have settled the questions outstanding between ourselves and the Dunlop Co. in regard to getting the work done - at the moment everything is held up pending receipt of a new width of keyway which will cover the worst conditions in service.
