| x207 To Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Smth.19/KW. 9.10.34. Eccentric Camshaft Drive - Bentley. We are looking into the question of an overhead camshaft, and the possibility of providing it with a silent drive. We have before us the arrangement A.273 showing the eccentric drive on the 4-litre Bentley, and should be glad to know if the drive underwent any modifications subsequent to this. A.273 attached.
