It would appear that the unbalanced shutters on the Bentley considerably reduce the existing trouble of the shutters being closed by wind pressure at high speeds. We naturally require more experience of them in France before we can issue a Standardisation Sheet, but we think that arrangements should be made on production to keep the stock of standard shutters to a minimum.
