| -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.8/MA.23.6.33. Cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} It will be seen from these figures that the battery we have chosen for the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) will be capable of giving the same lighting performance as the standard 20/25 but it will be much lighter and have a much better starting performance, although we shall expect a slightly shorter life. Batteries of this type are fitted to all experimental Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) chassis and we propose to keep careful records of their performance from the point of view of life and reliability.
