| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Y 4553 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}6/KT.15.5.33. It is hoped that the second Bentley car will go to France in about three weeks time. With regard to BY/SSl/Jl.5.33 we have not yet had details of item (13), change gear lever. We are also going to try and get the water heated hot spot and thermostatic radiator control on this car and would be obliged if you would push the details to Lec.3418, Lec.3492, and Lec.3472. We should like the brake adjustment to N.Sch.3736 as it will give us something to experiment with, even though we may have to arrange stops in the system in a different place to accommodate this type of adjustment. Will you please urge as far as possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
