BENTLEY 111 and 50. BRAKES.
Please receive herewith the following scheme
F.CD.605 Front Brake Operation.
The above scheme shews the front mounting on the engine, altered to a 1 to 1 ratio, and fixed on the frame. To correct the front brake ratio the actuating lever on the front pan has been modified and moved inwards. The brake gear has also been moved outwards to bring it in line with new servo position.
