| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x200 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/KW.18.9.35. Confirming our conversation - (1) You will let us have a section model of SpectreCodename for Phantom III front suspension. (2) We want to get Hall's metal bearings on all our engines as opportunity occurs. This includes B-17 which is at present having its timing gears quietened. We do not want to fit any further units into chassis without these bearings if it can possibly be avoided. (3) You are urging a heavier flywheel for the Paris Trials car. (4) Hancock's car to be stripped and brought up to the specification of SpectreCodename for Phantom III III. (5) You will urge the final cylinder block and valve gear for the big bore unit. It is proposed to follow out to France with this. (6) You will urge the modifications to B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} (7) You will put in hand two more hypoid 20/25 rear axles for Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s and Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s cars, the object being to see whether they are easier to quieten than present standard axles. At the present moment there is considerable doubt about this. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
