BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) STARTER MOTOR. Will you please have made for us as speedily as possible a brake gear wheel for testing the new Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) motor. The flywheel gear particulars can be obtained from the D.O. This gear wheel is urgently required in order that a production test specification can be formulated for Mr.Brock. The gear wheel should be fitted up on Mr.Brock's testing rig as we propose to carry out our tests on his rig and it will thus save two wheels having to be cut.
