To Ha/Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner}
E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} 2/HP.3.12.32.

Experimental Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) J.1. Chassis.

We send you herewith:

LeC.3280 - showing the completed arrangement of the chassis.

The servo and brake differentials are the standard 20/25 HP. but the rear axle, and brake actuating levers are as Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). These seemed to work in nicely with the layout of the chassis and floorboards of the body.

We understand you are willing to look over the brake leverages and quantities.
