BENTLEY IGNITION. Referring to memo E.1/HP.6.7.33., re double contact breaker ignition. We require a drawing for a cam similar to the Delco Remy type. A cam of this type is shewn on D.100501 used on Peregrine, for which the only modification necessary would be to take into account the reversed direction of rotation necessary for the Bentley distributor.
