Sidgreaves - MD}23/E27.1.36 This is to confirm conversation on the telephone to the effect that so far the modification introduced into the clutch last week appears to have overcome the trouble from which it was suffering, i/e.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} tendency to jagger when starting. The car was not used over the week-end but we took it out specially to-day with 33-EX, which is all the use it has had. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
