BENTLEY SPEEDOMETER.

We are sending into the stores one Bentley speedometer No.H.209. Will you please arrange to return this speedometer to the makers for the revs-per-mile figure to be altered to 724 and the scale corrected to our standard Bentley calibration. At present it is much too fast below 60 M.P.H.

Order No.54107.
