BENTLEY CLUTCH The Experimental Dept. shortly hope to release the new Thermoid Facing for the Bentley Clutch. It is hoped that this will prove a final cure for jagger troubles, and can, of course, be applied to cars already in service in case of complaint. If successful this new facing will probably obviate the necessity for fitting a propellor shaft damper to customers cars, and it would be as well to find how many dampers you have already supplied to Service Stations, but which have not been fitted and could be absorbed in production.
