Martindale}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.10.38. COMPLAINT - INEFFICIENT SERVO - B.II & 25/30 HP. Paris say they have a number of complaints of inefficient servos on Bentleys which are due to the three bushes G.54285 becoming worn and shouldered, thereby preventing the three pins G.52130 sliding through them. This is a fault in design for not having made the pins project through the bushes, which we have experienced on experimental cars. We recommend in cases of complaint and whenever a servo is pulled down, that the-three bushes should be slightly opened with a taper reamer as in drawing G.57320.
