Recommendation to incorporate a bronze bush in the distributor tower bearing on Bentley engines.

(31) Distributor Tower.

We recommend incorporation on production immediately of the bronze bush in the distributor tower bearing to overcome the slackness which has previously developed at this point on Bentley engines. At 5000 miles GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} reports that no slackness has developed with this modification.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
