| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [handwritten] XUL✓ Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 5/KW.11.9.35. Bentley Clutches. Ex.18198 We wish to fit Borg & Beck clutches to all our Bentley units. Three of these are being machined at the moment, but we shall be glad if you will put in hand a further 6 sets, as we shall be fitting them to various Sales cars in addition to our own. When ordering the clutches from Borg & Beck, we should like to have 10" ones, the driven members to be lined with F.F.1 material, and the spring centres to have the springs painted red. Borg & Beck will know from this the required rating of the springs. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
