| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Mr. 1208 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.30.12.35. Big Bore Bentley. There is a certain amount of discussion as to whether the L.B.1 or the L.B.2 needles give the best results on the big bore car. Obviously it is difficult to form an opinion on the 2 cars we have so far made. We anticipate, however, that the L.B.1 will be the better. We should, however, like Mr. to have the opportunity of trying both these needles on a dozen chassis or so before large quantities are ordered.
