Mr.Chandler.

RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} /EG.13/DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 1.9.37.

I am sending you a Spring Plate taken from a Borg & Beck Clutch, which did not conform to the limits laid down for quality of parallelism of the Ferodo Friction Discs.

I have had this disembled and find there is a very bad burr at the root of the rivet lug, which should have been removed.

Will you take this up strongly with Messrs. Borg & Beck and after correction return the Clutch Plate to me.

Goodall
RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} /EG.
