OY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}

We attach a scheme showing an oil pipe for lubricating the clutch spigot. I recommend you adopt this. Although you may have had no trouble so far in doing away with the spigot lubrication, we think a means should be provided so that if at any time the clutch showed signs of of seizing, it is possible to get some oil on to it.

Yours sincerely,
