In reply to C8/D14.8.33. and C1/D24.8.33. we have obtained three alternative types of Millenium Jacking pads for test, and one of them would appear to be satisfactory for the Bentley car after slight alterations. The fittings are light, inexpensive, and simple; they consist of two small pads clamped to the rear springs; the ordinary hand operated jack is used in conjunction with the pads; the advantage of the pads is that the jack is used under the spring in an easily accessible position. These can be demonstrated at any time now. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} | ||
