| Cone Clutches (Re stapled fabric) TBB12/L30812. Mr Royce 30.8.12. The first of these fabric clutches in which staples alone are used was delivered to test at mid-day to day. Chassis 1649 which we hope to send to you next week sometime will also be fitted with one of these clutches. The finished clutch looks extremely well with these staples and has every appearance of being a success. [Handwritten in left margin, vertically]: X 355 | ||
