Re NEW PHANTOM(Codename for PHANTOM I) CLUTCHES.

BJ. from Bt. {Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer}

There seem to be many cases of complaints of jagger.

The latest one is that made by the driver to Captain G.B. Lester, chassis No. 50-HC.

In the case of this car and others, steps are being taken, of course, to get the matter put right, but I think you may care to raise the matter with W., particularly in view of the fact that Cr. {Mr Cra’ster / Mr Chichester} was informed by the driver to Capt. Lester that he had met several drivers who had the same trouble, and the driver's statement that he understood that this defect was one common to Phantoms.
