| - 2 - (8). cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} In width and the clutch operating shaft G.85256 increased in length to permit of the standard production bottom half casing G.85065 being used. 9) Additional inertia made integral with the clutch cover is also shown in a scrap view, but this need not be detailed until results have been obtained with the separate piece. Regarding (4) we are doubtful of the wisdom of the panelling, but agree that it should be tried and discarded if any defects appear. We may point out that a flywheel with inertia similar to that now proposed has already been tried and rejected because of a DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} period it brought up. The thinner flywheel web now provided may change this, but the point seems to require watching. | ||
