BENTLEY III AND BENTLEY 50 GEARBOXES. You did speak about producing two new gearboxes which we should describe as being the Mk.II type. I am rather anxious to get them instructed, since you will appreciate machining is rather difficult; an early start would therefore be advantageous. Will you kindly let me know.
