DYNAMO ON BENSPORTCodename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley. We are sending out to you in the care of F.Dodd a new dynamo fitted with a special experimental grade of brushes which have been carefully bedded down and measured. Will you please arrange to change over the dynamos on the BensportCodename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley at the earliest possible opportunity, noting the speedometer reading for us. The new grade of brushes is designed to cut down to a minimum the excessive wear experienced on the last 10,000 mile test. We should be glad if you will carefully note any brush noise or irregularity from the dynamo. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. | ||
