Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) Clutch - Stronger Clutch Springs. With reference to your memo Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /GRY {Shadwell Grylls} 1/MA.12.9.32., recommending building up the six chassis with stronger Clutch Springs to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 667 and clutch operating lever to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 672; we would point out that 25% stronger springs G.100787 were issued to Experimental Dept. on 30.8.32, along with the Guide, Washer, Spring, Cap and Pressure Ring.
