Mr. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives,
Rolls-Royce, Ltd.,
Derby, England.

Dear Mr. Hives:

Re Clutch

Many thanks for your cable re clutch. I think we are making a better job of this now by attending to the points of your cable.

Is the new clutch with springs behind back plate a great improvement as regards softness of engagement?

We have in mind to try one with a view to changing over as soon as possible.

Yours very truly,

Maurice Olley

MO/E
