In order to release the above section, it will be necessary to prepare the following new drawings :- Arrgs. of Flex. flywheel with 10" Long clutch, generally similar to GCD.1065, but suitable for aluminium engine, i.e. the same friction face and disc GB.4416/7, but a new flywheel rim Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}569 which will require re-drawing with a GB. number. With regard to the pedal mechanism, we would like to include the revised scheme for which the drawing is now practically completed, but not yet detailed. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N.
