Re: BENTLEY INSTRUCTION BOOKS. We send herewith a copy of Leaflet No. 10/B - "Servo Bearing", for insertion in the No.II Book for Chassis commencing Series E (B2-EF). Will D/BP kindly arrange to circularise owners of such chassis, who have already received their books, with a copy of the Leaflet. We have had the Leaflet inserted in the majority of our stock of No.II books and spare Leaflets are available in the Stores. At the request of the Vacuum Oil Company, we have had the Winter grade of Mobiloil "AF" altered to "BB", the "AF" being no longer produced. This occurs on page 28 of the No.I and II Editions or on Leaflet No. 3/B facing page 28 in the early No.I Edition. We have had the whole of our stock of No.I and II Editions modified in this way. Will you please alter your own copy by hand. Further to our BY/NW{N. Walker - Patents}2/JN.8.11.35., amended copies of Leaflets Nos.6/B and 9/B are now available and should be sent to customers who have already had copies of the original Leaflets, with the request that they should substitute the amended one for the original. To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}, Sr. and JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} we are sending two copies of Leaflet 10/B and to NRC.{N. R. Chandler} 3 copies as requested. BY/N.W. | ||
