EAC.10.& 12 CLUTCH (CLUTCH BRAKE) X. 8300 X. 8420

Herewith we send N.sch.2447 shewing the clutch and clutch brake for the above car.

This clutch is intended for use with an integral geargox, particulars of which will be sent later.

It will be seen that the crankcase is altered, and also the crankshaft.

There are one or two points on the design which require confirmation from Derby, and we have drawn attention to them by notes on the drg.
