Front End of Car - Bentley III. 404 We have already sent to you LeC.5446 showing the Frontal Appearance which is proposed for Bentley III. This drawing was in the form of an illustration, but herewith we send LeC.5454 showing a scale drawing of the same. Full dimensions are given for the shape of the bonnet, the position of the dashboard and the positions of the head lamps and horns. Dimensions are also given for the steering column and the position of the spare wheel. At the moment this drawing does not permit of any detailing although it will enable you to detail the bonnet as soon as we have supplied you with schemes for the bonnet side rest plate and the construction of the top hinge.
