40 m/m Gun - L.H. TXT./Type MD

PRODUCTION.

Bentley Engineering Co.,
LEICESTER (Tel: 21674) Contact Mr T. Bentley.

Attached is a list of their machines, which are working full time on the Recoil Mechanism, Breech Block, etc., of Bofors guns for R.O.F., Nottingham.

It is not very likely that they could take much in connection with our 40 m/m without special arrangements.

They have a subsidiary company, however, who are almost out of work, but their capacity is not large.

See T.Crieve & Co., separate list.
