Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x235 Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/HP.18.1.35. Bentley - Cantilever Pedals. The spherical bearing for the pedal shaft in the frame (your detail F.60715/6) which we recently instructed for the 20/25 cantilever pedals, should also be applied to the Bentley cantilever pedals, the same pieces being suitable. As the clutch actuating linkage on the Bentley is more experimental than on 20/25, the experiment we think should not be delayed to fit this bearing, but the bearing should be available when needed.
