Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/MA.22.8.33.

With reference to our note on the
Bentley front engine mounting bearing bush.
A short time ago Mr.Brock produced some graphite impregnated
bakelite which might do this job. We shall
be glad if you will get some bushes made in this
material.
