Re. Trials Car GAN.54

With reference to our Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler} 7/AP.31.7.37, this clutch has now been running three months with the Ferodo S.6777 facings. We should be obliged if you would kindly let us have a note as to its behaviour both in respect of smoothness on pick-up and also whether any slipping has been observed.
