"Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) II".
Ignition Distributor, Sec.8120.

We hand you herewith two blue prints of :-

D.53912 - Cam.

Will you please have six sets of these put in hand.

The difference between this and its predecessor is that we have given a larger radii on the corner with the contacts open for quieter operation, and a revised keyway to give rotor blades more nearly in the ideal position.

An L.O.P. alteration will follow in due course.
