ELECTRIC PETROL GAUGES WITH WARNING LAMP CONTACTS. We have now received two Bentley petrol gauges of a new type fitted with reserve warning light contacts. Will you please arrange for these to be fitted to B.23AE and 3.B.IV. The instrument patches will require modifying to R.R.sch.719 and a special extra wire put in from the petrol gauge tank unit to the instrument board for the warning lamp. We should like this work carried out the next time these chassis are in the shop. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
