EAC. S. CLUTCH - X.7300.

Regarding the clutch I have arranged with HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
that unless the fabric on the driven peice can be made
with less moment of inertia I should not for the moment
consider this type.

The only work then to be done to the clutch at
the moment is to endeavour to lighten both the flywheel
and the driven part of the clutch, and make it more certain
of stopping slightly more quickly.
