| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 212 Kingsbury. Dec. 3rd. 1936. Bentley. Clutch Complaints C Series. The early type clutches are coming in burnt out. frequently. Would it not be possible to obtain higher rated springs for these clutches. The extra load on the clutch pedal would serve two purposes, 1 stop slipping by weight of foot on pedal. 2nd extra load would tend to make the driver take up quicker.
