Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Bentley Starting Handle. We send you herewith drawing: LeC.3618 shewing the new design of the Starting Handle for the first 15 Bentley chassis. It should be noticed that the forward crossmember is unaltered for the time being, but the starting handle bush is bored out to receive the bearing on the shaft. We shall shortly be sending a design of a "cleaned up" front crossmember for the 16th chassis and onwards. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
