BENTLEY 50 GEARBOX.

We understand from Steele that the B.50 gearbox can be fitted to 5.B.IV. Will you, therefore, please fit the second gearbox in this chassis for a dynamometer run.

At the same time we should like to incorporate the latest 3 row pinion bearing. If necessary, the oil centre case designated for 8.B.V can be used for this test.
