| 261S.S. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}5/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 15th Sept., 1937. Raymond Mays, Esq., Eastgate House, Bourne, Lincs: Dear Mays, When your car was in the Works the other day we fitted to it an experimental clutch lining to overcome your complaint of clutch judder. Will you please let us know whether this was successful, and whether you now have any criticisms of the clutch, with particular reference to any possibility of clutch slip. I hope you were able to get some S.82 material for your axle shafts. I am sure if you were only on the verge of trouble before this would put it right. Yours sincerely, | ||
