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.
