BENTLEY 111. REAR AXLE.

Herewith is PD.141 shewing the rear hubs suitable for use with the modified wire wheels shewn on PD.132, and also applying the same C.I. brake drum as is shewn on that drawing to the rear brakes. The standard Girling rolled steel shoes shewn on PD.125 is also shewn here, adapted to the fully floating rear axle by slight modifications only.

The urgency of this gear is the same as that of PD.132.
