Bentley Oil Gauge.

Referring to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} dated 8th inst. I suggest that the connecting link be kept the same gauge and made in steel. This will make it twice as stiff.

One does feel that the whole of the indicator and mechanism is very delicate, but it has served us very well for many years and it is the cheapest oil indicator we have made.
