REMARKS.

BENTLEY
(13) DISC WHEELS.
A mock-up is being made, whereby disc wheels are to be fitted to an existing Bentley so that their appearance can be criticised.

BENTLEY III
(14) DEVELOPMENT
This is dealt with in Ey.S/C.13.1.38.
(15) RADIATOR
Pressure of other work has prevented a design of a sloping radiator being started.

GENERAL
(16) STANDARDISATION SHEETS.
The following are up for signature at this Meeting:-
1. P.J. overdrive gearbox.
2. P.J. large tube front dampers. (RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} says these could be introduced at 101 in D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} series and would mean scrapping material to the value of £48. 13. 6.)
3. P.J. carburetter jets to improve consumption.
4. 25/30. thermoid clutch.
5. P.J. C.S.T. adjustable length.
6. P.J. Stone-guard rear brake inter shaft.
7. P.J. Deletion of air silencer supports.

The sheet for wide rim P.J. road wheels was signed by Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} between Conferences, because of the necessity of ordering D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} series material.
