| W/P - Sr. X1265 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/KW.19.3.36. 3½ Litre Bentley - Mr. Beghin. Replying to Sr.21/Dn.17.3.36, we are sorry we have nothing we can tell you about more efficient undershields. We should recommend that you have a go at the undershields yourselves. The holes in the undershield are not really required on the Bentley, because the hot air from under the bonnet can escape through the louvres. If you are successful, you might pass the information obtained on to us. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
