BENTLEY V THROTTLE CONTROL. We have had the modified throttle control scheme to RCB.1312 fitted up on 9.B.V. car by the Exptl. Dept: fitting shop. We have not the time to wait for new parts as per detail drawings, but our made up levers etc. are to all intents and purposes the same scheme, and have proved quite satisfactory. There are no signs of rattles under any conditions. We would therefore suggest that this scheme can be issued for production on B.V. cars. AM/wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
