BENTLEY PISTONS. AND CYLINDER BORE WEAR.

In reply to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /CTS {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 's memo of the 23.1.39.

I am enclosing figure taken of cylinder bore wear with the close fitting piston EB.3151. As stated, we have not got many cars with a mileage of 20,000, and over, with these pistons fitted.
