BENTLEY REAR AXLE. With regard to J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Series which have the modified pinion, the reason we have not as yet received any of these axles is as follows:- 38 job cards issued at K.{Mr Kilner} 22 new cars not delivered 9 " under 1,000 miles 5 " " 2,000 " 2 " " 2,500 " -- 38 We shall, therefore, have to wait for developments before we can state any improvements.
