P.11 CLUTCH PEDALS.

We have noticed that the angle between the clutch pedal and connecting link is more advantageous to the clutch separation on the L.H. chassis than on the R.H. chassis.

Will you please instruct RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} to produce a pedal set at the optimum angle. If this gives us a greater clutch separation we could incorporate the pedal on 0.2 series.
