Bentley - Centre Change Speed. I am enclosing two photographs of the centre change speed, made and adapted to the gearbox by Kingsbury at Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s request. Practically all R.R. parts are used, and it can be converted at short notice without any modifications and reverted to standard the same. I thought you would be interested to see what has been done.
