New Type Jack for Bentley Chassis. Owing to the fact that the necessary parts to be used in conjunction with the new type jack will not be available as early as was anticipated, it will be necessary to order a further 50 of the old type jacks, as although supplies of the new type jack have actually been received, these are not suitable for the present production chassis. We understand from the Stores that we have a stock of eleven of the old type jacks, therefore you will realize that it is important to obtain supplies of the old type jack as early as possible.
