JACKS FOR PEREGRINEExperimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine. Will you please obtain a price for the Dunlop Dome Type Jack No. D.L.5 which was submitted for test, for use on PeregrineExperimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine. We do not like the two price handle supplied, and would prefer a handle jointed exactly like the present Dunlop Jack handle; the length of the handles submitted is correct, and the type we should prefer would be the one with the T piece handle. (i.e. as present jack handle.) The alternative jack (No.24) is unsuitable for the job; so far we like the Dome Type DL.5 and think this may be found to be suitable for the job.
