BENTLEY CHASSIS FOR MRS. COATALEN. Referring to BY/Cgh.{W Clough}5/G.10.5.34. we have never had a car with such a high margin of safety with regard to the cooling system as the present Bentley. We can guarantee that the customer will have no trouble. We are going to reduce the radiator size in the immediate future, and feel fairly certain that we shall still not run into trouble.
