| To WHC. X 1110 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.14/JH. 30.6.36. 33-EX. The clutch on this car gives an excellent take up, but squeaks when hot and smells badly of rubber. We think that this may be due to the facings being of not quite standard composition, being an early delivery. Will you please strip the clutch for inspection and fit another centre plate to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}164/5. The facings will be here today or tomorrow.
