NEW LIGHTENED TYPE INSTRUMENTS FOR BENTLEY CHASSIS. With reference to Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}7/KW.21.12.33. and Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA.22.12.33. we are arranging for the trip setting mechanism to be on the R.H. side of the speedometer in order to clear the steering column, also for the mileage recording figures to match those on the speed scale. We thought it advisable to mention these two points, as no doubt they would arise when fitting the sample set which is being sent on to you. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
