Bentley Front Axle.

The strengthened roller bearing on the pivot was originally designed for 4° pivot inclination.

Herewith is N. Sch.4000 shewing its adaptation to 1° pivot inclination.

This also includes the 3 bolter flange at the bottom. This should be detailed in connection with the 14" brake drums.
