3 1/2 litre Bentley progress.
-------------------------

We are in agreement with memo BY.1/G.2.5.33.

As regards question of design, the only section we have never yet issued on the 3 1/2 litre Bentley is the Undersheet.

These have given us some trouble but they are now completed, and are being issued this afternoon.

Sections which have been issued, but are now held up awaiting modifications to design, are water connections, and wire fittings.
