A.T. SPEEDOMETER FOR BENTLEY CHASSIS.

9/54107

Will you please arrange to return to the makers an A.T. speedometer No.G.227.

We require this instrument to be modified to up to date Bentley standard with the front Bevel glass. The revs per mile calibration figure should be 794 and the scale should read 5% fast at 60 M.P.H. and 6 1/2% at 100 M.P.H.

This instrument is urgently required for use on an expl. Bentley chassis using Dunlop silent tread tyres.
