Herewith we send N. sch. 3312. shewing the lubrication of the clutch operating shaft, as promised.
It will be seen that we suggest that the lubrication and the stop screw for the bush should be combined.
There is a modification to the position of the boss on the brake compensator shaft.
With reference to the bolts holding the gearcase to the clutch pit these have to be stopped, and we wish them to be done with a softiron ring in the manner shewn on N. scheme 3156.
