100 M.P.H. Bensport - Cycle Type Wings.

Herewith are N. Sch. 3812, 3813, 3815 and 3816.

N. Sch. 3812 has already been issued and details of the pivot, and one or two other pieces made from it.

We have now added information as to the wing stay ends and fixings so that it may be issued to the coachbuilding department to deal with the wings and stays.

N. Sch. 3813 and 3815 are illustrations of the wings, taken from the 1/16" scale body drawing to get an idea of the disposition of the stays and the probable steering lock available.

N. Sch. 3816 shews that this lock can be obtained on the steering head with something to spare.
