Bentley Carburetters. It was agreed some time ago that two of the Bentley chassis should be rigged up with different finishes to the carburetters and induction pipes and valve rocker cover, etc. one being all black and the other scratch brush finish, and that a decision should be obtained from Sg.{Arthur F.
