Bentley Induction System. ------------------------ Further to our memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}8/KW4.1.34. will you please produce this pipe having carburetter flanges between cylinders 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 5 and 6 respectively. This will enable information to be obtained relative to the staggered mounting of the carburetters on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. Will you also make two suitable blanks in brass, to fit on the carb. flanges not in use. These should extend into the Induction Pipe, giving a clean bore when only two carbs. are in use.
