Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}12/JH.21.3.39. BENTLEY V - 300 sets. Flywheel & Clutch. We agree as stated on By.3/G.16.3.39. Flywheel disc GB.4417, Rim GB.4758 etc. 10" Long clutch. Clutch Pedal Mechanism. FOD.1170. LOP.GB.4762, FS.{F. Steele}4714. . This is very similar to the scheme FOD.519 but modified dimensionally to take full advantage of the finger leverage of the long clutch, and is simple and cheaper, as two adjustments and the servo spring are eliminated. Controls. In abeyance, as present scheme is not entirely satisfactory. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} | ||
