Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BENTLEY PETROL GAUGE WIRE. With reference to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. 24.6.37. I note that on present cars, a petrol and oil resisting covering is being fitted to 4.1/4 Litre. This cable is a four wire. On the 3.1/2 Litre, it is a three wire cable. Is it possible to obtain for replacements an oil resisting cable for these cars? At the present, the same class of cable has to be fitted. ------------------ Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
