| 200B 450 P. Dept. c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} F.J. HARDY. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/C.30.8.37. Not as cheap as U.S.A. Is cost justified BENTLEY 111 - STEERING COLUMN. Herewith is PD.3 shewing the mounting of the steering column in the frame. The steering column is as Wraith except for the position of the trunnion mounting on the box, and the set of the pendulum lever. The lubrication of the pendulum lever ball is not yet decided for Wraith, but whatever is done there will be applicable to Bentley 111. We may require a stiffener under the top bolt of the mounting bracket, but this bracket being more flexible in torsion than the column tube, we consider a stiffener may be un-necesary.
