| S/W x360 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 25/30. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/E21.1.36 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.17.1.36 this is just to confirm that I understand you do not now need to have my car at Derby. As regards the clutch, the only trouble I havehad with it is that it appears to be inclined to jagger when starting from second. It has been like this since I first had it and I do not think it has got any worse. I understand that a modification is being made to it by Hancock whilst at Thrupp & Maberley's or Cricklewood.
