| EE/NS{Norman Scott} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 200b DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/G.S.12.37. Colut RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/SM BENTLEY 111. RADIATOR. 440. It has been found necessary to modify the lower support of the grille on this radiator, the type shewn on FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}13 being difficult to manufacture and fit. FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}73 herewith shews the new proposal. Opportunity has been taken to simplify the support for the starting handle tunnel. A print of this has already been handed to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. and to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Dept. The details are being altered to suit, and the modification will be included in the first radiator. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
