| -4- HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}7/KW.11.3.35. 20/25 HP (6) Improved Clutch. 21-G-IV was not considered to be sufficiently good as a result of the tests in London. We are not therefore standardising the lining fitted to this car with the new clutch on the Bentley. We are standardising the lining which was fitted to Lp{Mr Lappin}'s car and which has given satisfaction. (7) Improved Performance - New Type Head. No parts have come through for this yet. (8) Rear Axle Ratio. The smaller wheels were demonstrated to Sales at Bignall's corner on 12.3.35. We do not know the position of the lower axle ratio in the drawing office.
