CENTRALISED CHASSIS
LUBRICATION - CLUTCH THRUST
(Handwritten and crossed out: X3806 / X7300)

Herewith we send N. sch. 2601. shewing the slight modifications to the clutch thrust to make it oil retaining.

The modifications are on the lines of that schemed for "SS {S. Smith} ".

We have used existing pieces as far as possible, but subsequently a boss and cup could be added to the trunnion forging.
