Please receive herewith E.CD.533 Wheelcase - Bentley 50. The design also shows the oil supply nozzle to timing gears which is connected to the low pressure oil supply, the oil piping will be shown on a later design. The wheelcase is intended to be produced as a die casting in aluminium. An alternative one piece nozzle is shown on drawing and the least costly nozzle of the two should be detailed. Will you please detail and instruct the necessary parts experimentally. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
