Attached is a suggested specification for Bentley III induction system. This proposes laying down both mixture controls and the automatic device on one drawing, the reason being that one or the other may be deleted at a later date. If the mixture controls were deleted at the present time (with the idea of putting them back later) a complicated situation can arise. Apart from deleting bosses and brackets which carry the controls, the bracket on the steering column has to be re-arranged, and the possibility arises of juggling with the remaining hand controls.
