RE; USE OF THE BENTLEY LONG SKIRT TYPE RR.PISTON ON THE 20/25 HP. --------------------------------------------------------- The position in regard to pistons on the 20/25 HP. Chassis at the present moment is that we have sufficient pistons cast to enable us to build up to the 151st. chassis in "G" Series. This will bring us to March 23rd. 1935. Some of these pistons are not machined and we would like to know whether you think from the troubles met with, it would justify scrapping some of the unmachined pistons. BY.{R.W.
