Bentley Petrol Tank. We have sent E.V. a print of the proposed Tank with outside filler on the lines of Vulture, and he will take the matter up with Bales. But as he considers it probable the tank as drawn will be acceptable, we now issue it for a specimen to be made for trying out on the car. As the casting on the tank is identical with Vulture the pattern is already available. The filler, however, is new. BWG{J. C. Bowring} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
