25 H.P. & Bentley - rear oil seal.

The present crankcase rear oil seal appears to be far from satisfactory on the 25 H.P. and Bentley, and we should like to try a scheme similar to the SpectreCodename for Phantom III one.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 74 shows a convenient way of doing this experimentally. Will you please detail and make the necessary pieces.
