Pistons - Bentley Chassis. -------------------- In view of the fact that we have not run any pistons successfully with the new treatment after discussing the whole question with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, it was agreed that it would not be safe to depart from the old treatment as we would not have any justification in the case of failure. The standard treatment must therefore be given to the Bentley. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BM | ||
