| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Citroen Bentley. We are very anxious to reduce the transverse pivot lean of the above car from 8½º to 1½º. The standard Bentley has only 1º transverse pivot lean. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}245 shows a simple method of adopting the existing stud axles. The car weight is on the lower bearing which is unaltered. It will also be necessary to increase the centres of the top triangular bracket, which will necessitate new pieces to support their bearing shafts. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A.
