Draper - Frames} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/G.28.10.38. BENTLEY 50. FRAME. As the overall width of Bentley 50 is now 73.000, and Bentley 111 only 68.000, it will be necessary to increase the length of the step irons 2.500. The depth of the front and rear step irons should remain .500 at the outer end and the intermediate step iron .625. It is not intended to produce separate step irons for B.3 and B.50, but shorten them to suit B.3 when required. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
