The clutch question is well in hand. The recent seizure of a clutch we found was due to a slight distortion and oversize of the flywheel spigot for the sliding sleeve of the clutch trunnion. We have instructed BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} to give us .004+ and -001 dia. clearance for this sleeve as against .015" -003". _____________ A further report will follow.
