Engine redesign policy for Dennis Bros. and scheduling a meeting with H.D.A. Ltd.

RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1020a.

Re Dennis Bros. my suggested policy to date is to find out by the pool of correspondence attached, just how far they are prepared to go in redesigning their engine. There is no doubt that in the present design the centre main bearing will have to stand a lot of bumping about. We might get away with a barrel shaped bearing, but we can go to that as a last resource when we know how much they are prepared to do themselves.

C.T.S.

Re the meeting at H.D.A. Ltd. the proposed date is next Tuesday : Sept 20th.
