Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your letter of the 24th inst, and in reply thereto it would appear from your telephone conversation with Mr. Armitage, yesterday, that you are still not feeling too happy in regard to the setting of the clutch release levers, particularly as applied to the 11" Model. We understand that you are returning two such Clutches to us for inspection, and we shall be pleased to advise you of our findings when again tested on our new fixtures. With regard to the special 10.A6 Clutch which you have on order please be advised that this was despatched from our Works yesterday, and we trust is now safely in your hands. Your concluding remarks with regard to the 40. Eyebolts have been duly noted. Yours faithfully, BORG & BECK COMPANY LIMITED. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} T. Barker H.{Arthur M.
