Ha/Wat.T/MA.18.12.33. BENTLEY IGNITION. With reference to E.10/HP.1.12.33 will you please arrange for a suitable reamer to be made as soon as possible and sent direct to Lillie Hall so that JLR can open out all the bakelite bushes on demonstration chassis. The matter is very urgent as it is extremely undesirable for these chassis to fail with single ignition whilst be demonstrated to prospective customers. Ha/Wat. | ||
