BENTLEY 111 - FULLY ISOLATED GEAR LEVER. Herewith is PD.27, shewing the fully isolated gear lever on Bentley 111 universal box. The construction differs from P.111 because the body side is closer in to the gear lever, and overhanging bearings have to be provided in place of straddle bearings. There is a modification to the pendulum lever shaft. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
