To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Mis Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 2/KT.5.9.32. x

BIG JOURNAL PEREGRINEExperimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine UNIT.

We should like the crankshaft damper on this unit to be built up with dry Halo friction discs; the load to be between 10 and 15 lbs at 17". This cancels our previous request for 7 lbs. This higher load should make more certain that no slip exists due to driving the fan pulley.
