Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/MA.12.6.33. .BENSPORT WIRING. The first Bentley chassis is now being rebuilt in the experimental shop, and we wish to bring the wiring of this chassis up to date with our latest propositions for production. Will you please issue instruction therefore for this chassis to have the following alterations to the wiring:- (a) Main fuse position to be between the cutout and the switch box as arranged. (b) Dynamo cutout to be in the positive side from the dynamo instead of the negative. (c) Red ignition warning lamp to be incorporated. (d) The negative brush on the dynamo earthed i.e. only 2 wires coming from the dynamo. We are arranging to fit on this chassis a dynamo and regulator as on the other Bensport chassis.
