| - 2 - BY.4/G.10.9.38. that we carry on with the developed Bentley axle as now on production for Bentley lll, and wash out entirely any idea of introducing the semi-floating axle until this type has been proved reliable on the Bentley 50 in service. I attach hereto a list of the major changes we have been forced to make on the present Bentley axle to bring it to its present condition, in which one can hope for absolute reliability. BY.{R.W.
