Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}8/KT.14.6.33. BENTLEY 3½ LITRE - TOOLS. The tyre pump and jack for Bentley cars should we recommend be the same as those which were agreed upon for Peregrine viz:- Kinsman Mark II. Hand Operated Tyre Pump. Dunlop Dome type D.L.5 Jack (made by Lake and Elliott), incorporating a handle exactly as is used on the Dunlop jack at present standard on 20/25 HP. cars. This is the same as the jacks supplied to the Expl. Dept. for use on Expl. Bentley and Peregrine chassis. In connection with the difficulty of jacking up the rear of Bentley cars we are ordering some Millennium jacking levers (made by Lake and Elliott) to try out experimentally. The use of these should facilitate the job and they appear eminently suitable for the car. They are used in conjunction with the ordinary jack. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
