Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}11/MH.{M. Huckerby}18.3.38. 6092. R.R. TYPE LUCAS REGULATOR FOR BENTLEY III. We have now available the first of the correct type of regulator unit, No.R.R.I., for Bentley III chassis. Will you please arrange for this unit to be fitted on car 7.B.V. as soon as possible, and the obsolete unit at present on, returned to us. In fitting, care must be taken to ensure that the cables, which enter the base, are kept clear of the resistance elements over which they must pass to get to the terminals. This might be done either by a non-combustible support, or by cleating the cables to the dash. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
