Bentley TTT Programme. As a result of a discussion between Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, By, RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Gry{Shadwell Grylls} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} and E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} the following is the proposed programme for Bentley TII:- (June (July (August 1937 (September.- Long distance parts instructed to HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 1st (Sept. (October (November (December (January - 1st experimental car to be running 1st Jan. (February (March - 1st Body. Dec 1st (April (May (June - 1st experimental car to France 1st June 1938 (July (August - Long distance material released for prod- uction 1st August,and chassis to be ready for Show cars (dummies if necessary). (September. (October. (November - Motor Show. (December. (January. (February 1939 (March - Production starts 1st March. (April (May (June It is proposed to instruct 6 experimental cars and 3 of these would be available for demonstrators during the Show period. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} would like 3 dummy cars for production and the frames for these would have to be ordered at the same time as the experimental frames.
