Re. BENTLEY COMPLAINTS.
Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}1/E.27.10.36.

The complaint of rear brakes binding due to lack of lubrication on the actuating shaft bearing is as prevalent on the 20/25 and 25/30 as the Bentley. The question of more lubrication was taken up with By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} A scheme has been got out for the 25/30 and is now being tested by the Expl. Dept. A scheme for the Bentley is at present under consideration.

I did not report upon the complaint on the Bentley but am fully aware of it and had already taken the matter up with the Expl. Dept.
