| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EAC.10. &12. CLUTCH (CLUTCH BRAKE.) Handwritten: X8300 / Y8420 Herewith we send N. sch. 2447. shewing the clutch and clutch brake for the above car. This clutch is intended for use with an integral gearbox, particulars of which will be sent later. It will be seen that the crankcase is altered, and also the crankshaft. There are one or two points on the design which require confirmation from Derby, and we have drawn attention to them by notes on the drawing. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} [Stamp] ORIGINAL | ||
