| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 20HP. CLUTCH. ORIGINAL We send herewith N. scheme 2957.., shewing some of the recent 'Japan' improvements in the clutch applied to the present/standard, that is to say, the ferodo is riveted on the driven member, and the Phantom damping plate is employed instead of the twisted driven plate. We have also incorporated the washer adjustment instead of the existing lock nut. YB This should be put in hand experimentally immediately, as R.{Sir Henry Royce} wishes to standardise this at the same time as the long frame.
