| To By/RD. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} 6127 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.3.38. RE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AS FITTED TO 7.B.V. The Lucas battery terminal on 7.B.V for the negative side of the battery is wrong handed, which necessitates a sharp right-angle bend on the earth lead. In order to obtain the correct position of this lug we have had to file out the blank end of the cable socket. If this type is to be used on future Bentley III chassis, terminals of the correct hand should be obtained. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
