| FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to [redacted] HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DAL/WT.12.12.32. X4027 PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) REAR ENGINE SUSPENSION. Herewith we send N. sch. 3619. showing the suggested modification to the rear engine suspension of the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) to enable a rubber bush to be used in place of the present ferodo. It will be seen that the bush is not as thick as has been suggested for/Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley), but it is probably thick enough, and it can be increased if found necessary.
