BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) STARTER MOTOR.

With reference to the modifications you are arranging to instruct for the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) starter motor and confirming our telephone conversation we should be glad if you will instruct a 37 slot armature in the first instance instead of the 33 slot as we think this will give us a higher efficiency.

At the same time we ought to have a 33 slot armature in hand for the purposes of comparison.
