| K200. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Big Bore Bentley and 6-B-IV. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E18.12.35 Thanks for Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KW.14.12.35. I appreciate the position. In the last paragraph you say that it will be observed that most of the parts in the specification do not refer to the big bore Bentley as it will go into production. I should be glad if you could tell me by referring to the numbers on Pages 2 and 3 which items will be on production and which - if any - of those that will be on production were not on B-56-BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} when tested in France. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
