ARRANGEMENT OF DASHBOARD. LEFT HAND SILVER PHANTOM. Attached are two prints each of PL.88 and PL.89. shewing the arrangement of the front and rear of the Dash RESPECTIVELY.

Most of the units on the dash are those belonging to B.5. but the wiring conduits and covers across the engine side of the dash are new. Although a tachometer drive is shewn this is not required for the left handed R-R Models, but it will be needed for the left hand editions of the Bentley Models. The engine controls shewn on these schemes for the subject of a separate scheme PL.87. which will be issued in a few days.
