| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4553 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MJ.23.6.34. HIGH OUTPUT BENTLEY ENGINE. We want to try one more camshaft with a timing to improve the power output on the Bentley engine. The M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} engine camshaft has proved very disappointing. Will you please make a camshaft to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1443. The inlet cam form Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}971 is already in existance as you have previously made a camshaft with it for us.
