Bentley Rear Axle. 170-GA - 15,959 Miles. The axle off the car is being returned to the works for a new pinion and crown wheel. The pinion has very badly picked up. It looks as if at some time the oil film has broken down. We should like you to take an interest in this case and let us have your opinion. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
