BENTLEY 111. FRAME.

With further reference to Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 8/G.16.2.38. instructing modifications to the side member and gussets, the suggestion that the modifications to the dies should await the bumping test on the next frame is not acceptable to BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} So will you please put the necessary modifications in hand as soon as possible.
