SERVICE COMPLAINTS.
Bentley Speedometer & Rev. Counter Drives.

From our investigations with the above the D.O. have now issued designs M.Sch.1083 which deals with allowing a more natural curve of the drives from the instruments, also the movement of brackets to dispense with the sharp bends. These will come into Production in due course.
