BENTLEY AND 25/30 HP. - VALVE GEAR.

With reference to memo. BY/Cghl/G.16.4.36. as far as the Bentley chassis are concerned we propose to introduce this modification on the 131st chassis in 'G' Series, and with regard to the 25/30 HP. on which we understand all the rockers should be modified before they are despatched, we are actually modifying all rockers which are not yet fitted to engines. As regards those which are already built up on engines, these can be removed by the Test Dept. and opened out.
