UNBALANCED SHUTTERS ON BENTLEY CHASSIS. We are in receipt of your memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}20/KW.29.6.34 with regard to the above, and note it is possible that in the near future we shall standardise the unbalanced shutters. We would point out that we have ordered present standard [handwritten: probably] material to the end of 'C' Series, and as we are about to order further material for 'D' Series, if it is intended to standardise the unbalanced shutters it would be advisable to let us put in hand the necessary tools, the approximate cost of which will be £30.0.0. You will recollect that experimental sets have been made from tubing. If you are in agreement will you please advise BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}, so that the necessary blueprints may be issued.
