Chassis B-10-DG. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson Esq.

It has been agreed that we can fit a 10" Borg & Beck clutch to B-10-DG, my father-in-law's car. He has worn out two standard clutches completely in 7,000 miles.

I am asking the Repair Dept. to send the engine over here so that we can do the job. There is a flywheel and first motion shaft available. The clutch we are allotting to the job is the non-ventilated one which has been prepared for B-19. We wanted a ventilated clutch fitting to B-19 in any case, and this has been ordered and should be available by the end of the week.
