Re: BENTLEY INSTRUMENTS. A slightly smaller patch for the Speedometer and Tachometer is being tested experimentally on 4B4. We are about to buy several batches of standardized bodies for Bentley. We would like to know when it is proposed to introduce this modified patch as it entails modifications to our instrument board. If it is likely to be introduced before we have used up all these bodies, we ought to go steady on milling Instrument Boards. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
