Coverley - Production Engineer} [Handwritten] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X2017. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}7/HP.14.7.33. Bentley Petrol Pipes and Tap. We send you herewith a drawing: LeC.3573 showing the petrol tap moved from the near side of the car to the driver side, with the object of shortening the petrol pipes on the dashboard. This amounts to a saving of 50% in piping. To do this it has been necessary to modify the manual booster for the petrol pump. We show on the drawing the position for the spare ignition coil bracket. The coil bracket can now be released for production. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
