BENTLEY AXLE SPRINGS Recent investigations show that we still have in stock supplies of Bentley Front Axle Springs having the jacking pad rivited on instead of - as at present - screwed on, also a quantity fitted with an extra 2nd leaf. As it is desirable to have as few springs as possible left over the series, it has been agreed that these should be used up on the next batch of Bentley Chassis. Will those concerned please advise the Order Office of the quantity of springs having the extra leaf, as it will be necessary to order special gaiters. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
