| XU2 SY. from E/HDY.{William Hardy} c.c. Mr. RWG. Ba. E/HDY.{William Hardy}1/HP.8.8.36. Bentley Clutch. The Experimental Department have asked for a downward stop on the crankcase of the Bentley as is provided on the 25/30 and the Phantom III. We show a stop on our N.Sch.4776 for the clutch operation with cantilever pedals. However, it is thought that the introduction of this scheme should not be awaited but a stop should be provided for the present operation. We do not propose to send a scheme showing the stop unless you particularly request it, and accordingly we should be glad if you would issue the necessary instructions. E/HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
