| 1245 W/P. To Sr/VA. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} c. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/Cm. c. D/BP. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.5.38. RE P.III CLUTCHES. ORDER NO.2207. In reply to Sr/VA.1/ET.10.5.38, we would explain that we have a considerable number of the lighter springs on order, and delivery is expected before long, but we do not quite know when. We will communicate with you immediately these come to hand, and send you a small supply to carry on with. We would explain that there are two poundages which differ slightly owing to the fact that some P.III's have a distance ring between the flywheel and the clutch cover, but the majority have not. These springs are painted different colours and this will be explained in the memo when supplies come to hand. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} | ||
