Lidsey} 5/KT.21.9.28 I thank you for your memo. reference The information you send will be very useful. We should very much like to receive your figures in connection with braking on the production model with any improvements which have been recently carried out. Also, we understand that the standard axle ratio is 10/41, in which case perhaps you would kindly let us have acceleration figures with this ratio. We should also like to hear from you as to the compression ratio of the production model. If you have not these figures at the present moment, perhaps you would kindly let us have the information as soon as possible. Bly{B. W. Bleaney - Bentley Sales} | ||
