Further to BY/Cgh.{W Clough}3/G/18.2.35. the foot switch fitted on the Bentley chassis is of German manufacture, and since we have got moulds for making our own design of foot switch we think it would be advisable if we manu-factured our own switches and thus avoid having to fit those of foreign manufacture.
