| contd :- -3- adjustment unless a servo is employed. CLUTCH. Smooth and light foot pressure. Only objection, slightly inclined to stay in unless pedal fully depressed when changing gear. This is a ~~twy~~ two dry plate unit. SUSPENSION. Very much too flexible. Snubbers only fitted allowing the car to roll violently on corners. Flexible rear springs undoubtedly affected the steering. SINGLE POINT LUBRICATION. The plunger for this was fitted ~~underr~~ under the dash and took three minutes to deliver one charge. The connections to the springs etc. were very unobstrusive We cured a shackle squeak by operating the device shewing that it was functioning. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/W.
