Bentley / Mr Barrington} We have issued a design modification to strengthen up the head lamp stiffening crossmember at the point where failure occurred on chassis B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} The scheme number is N.Sch.4805. In view of the fact that the modification is required on production immediately it may be worth while to make up a crossmember and send it out to B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} E/Lid.{A. J.
