| X312 DH.{D. Henderson - Showroom} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. " RC.{R. Childs} 34-EX. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}3/KW31.7.36. Please read attached concerning the clutch on 34-EX. I understand this clutch has needed to be continually doped by Fraser. If that goes on please make arrangements for the car to go to the Works to have the clutch changed for the one which Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} refers to in the first paragraph. Therefore, the driver of 34-EX reports that the clutch is getting jaggery again - and you must keep in touch with RC{R. Childs} about this - please take steps for this changeover to be effected.
