BENTLEY COMPETITION UNIT.

Further to our conversation.

Will you please prepare a unit with standard crankshaft, flywheel, connecting rods, timing gears, but with an R.{Sir Henry Royce} engine camshaft and Kelmit bearings throughout. We will supply a set of Aerolite pistons, and one of the high compression cylinder heads we are at present testing.

We should like to get the unit as soon as we can so that we can get some preliminary results.
