COVENTRY OFFICE: Telephone: 4608. 11, WARWICK ROW, COVENTRY. November 14th 1932. Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, "TOWARDS THE FAULTLESS CLUTCH". Under the above heading on page 944 of the 'Autocar' issued last week, very high tribute was paid to the performance of the Roper and Wreaks clutch, especially emphasising its remarkably smooth engagement and light action. We should be very pleased indeed to give you a demonstration of the behaviour of this clutch, which is extremely compact and the price of which compares favourably with the general run of clutches. We are assured that this clutch marks a big step forward and approaches very near to the ideal. Its sweet engagement makes it particularly suitable for engines with "Floating Power" suspension.
