Bentley Revolution Indicator.

With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst3/MA.13.7.33. stating that rev.counters should be checked at 4500 R.P.M. and should show a Hasler reading not more than 1100 R.P.M., this figure will be subject to the limits which have been laid down, i.e. +- 2% and, therefore, the Hasler readings will be as follows :-

1103. -2% 1125 +2% 1082

These limits have been agreed to by the Experimental Department and, therefore, instruments should be passed at that.
