Re: Bentley III and Bentley 50.

Further to our memo BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /NS. {Norman Scott} 5/G.2.3.38, the following is also a Bentley III Section which may be used on Bentley 50.

Sec: 6120 - Rear Axle. LOP.GB.3292.

It should be noted that on B.III sections, when applied to B.50, the Oil Pipes, Exhaust Pipes, Brake Rods, etc. will be required 6.000" longer.
