This Workshop Manual has been compiled in an endeavourto assistservice personnel responsible for maintenance and overhaul, in properly maintaining the high standard of engineeringachievedin the production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs and orthographic reproductions which are suitably annotated in order to provide quick referencewith minimum searching. Although all information contained in the Manual was correct when going to print, modificationswhich may subsequently developwill be kept up to date by meansof Service Bulletins. Information given in the latest Bulletin will supersedethat given in the Section of the Manual to which it refers,until such times as the Manual is re-issued with the necessary amendments. lnstructions for the maintenance and overhaul of the 52 engine and the Refrigeration Systems fitted to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars are contained in individual volumes. Special Workshop Tools referred to in these publications and the Workshop Manual are listed and illustrated in a further publication. Personnel of Rolls-Royce Service Departments at Hythe Road, Willesden, London N.W.l0, and at Pym's Lane, Crewe, are always prepared to answer queries or give advice on individual servicing problems, but it will assist them if queries are accompaniedby the chassisnumber of the car. lnformation contained herein applies to the following cars: Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Silver Cloud Long Wheelbase Silver Cloud II Silver Cloud II Long Wheelbase Phantom V Bentley S1 Sl Long Wheelbase 32 52 Long Wheelbase Continental Sl Continental 52

The need for a common standard of screw threads in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America has led to an agreement between the countries concernedto use UNIFIED THREADS of mutually acceptableform, pitch and diameter. There are three types of unified thread: 1. Unified Coarse. 2. Unified Fine. 3. Unified Special. These unified threads are clearly identified by the standard system of markings, as illustrated in Figure A l. There is little difference between the form of the American national thread and the unified thread; therefore the new threads are largely interchangeable with S.A.E. standards. They are not, however, interchangeable with BSF, and although BSW have the same number of threads per inch as the Unified National Coarse series, interchanging is not recommended due to a difference in the thread form. The following types of thread are used on nuts, bolts and castings fitted to Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars. For all sizes below I in. diameter, BA threads are used.
