Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 206 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/MJ.10.8.36. ANTI-JUDDER BRAKE PARTS - BENTLEY. With reference to the third set of parts similar to those fitted to Mr. Pearson's car which you are preparing for the bumper rig, we have now decided that this scheme is so much simpler and less costly than the pieces at present fitted to 6-B-1V that we want to send these parts out to GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} as soon as they are completed and go forward with the fourth set for the bumper. We understand that Hancock has discussed the matter of fitting these parts with HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} and that it is not considered necessary to send a fitter out providing a template is supplied.
