| c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} BENTLEY 111 and BENTLEY 50. REVERSE LIGHT SWITCH. Please receive herewith FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}168 shewing the standard stop light switch adapted for use as a reverse light switch operated off the gear change shaft. This is a simpler scheme than the Wraith proposal, but cannot be adapted to that chassis. As on the Wraith, the switch is standard except for the modified spring cap, which is required to provide clearance. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
