| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} C.R. X.354Y Hsl/LGS.1.20. X 354Y OIL & PRESSURE GAUGES MADE BY BENSONS. We consider that the Pressure Gauges supplied by the above people are quite satisfactory. The oil pressure gauge reads up to 30 lbs. The finish on the instrument is very good. We have fitted these gauges on to the Car which is going to run 10,000 miles. When these gauges are fitted it will not be necessary to supply the loose ring to fix on to the Instrument Board.
