re Bensport Series 1.
----------------------

We send you herewith:

LeC.3408 showing the improved brake gear, to give a better ground clearance.

We have improved this to the extent of 1" on our scheme, and in combination with the raised position of the starter motor.

The drawing shows the leverages for the whole of the brake system.
