BENTLEY 138.J.D. REAR AXLE.

This car that I reported upon yesterday re ball race fouling radius. This has been corrected. I have tried the car on the road and the period has moved from 30 to 34 M.P.H. on the over-run. I have turned it down for further setting of the pinion, also bad rear brake squeaks which have been attended to.
