IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR.
CONTINENTAL BENTLEY T.

Herewith D.CD.1182 being a Distributor provided with hand control as required on the above car.

This distributor is similar to DW.426 now on production, but increased in height to allow for hand movement mechanism.

All the hand control parts housed in the neck, such as stop parts, earthing spring, bearing etc. are exactly as used on production 25/30, and Bentley 3½ and 4¼ litre.
