COPY. S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Km. C.6/C.29.1.35. Re. 21-G-1V. Clutch. The following is copy of JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager}'s report regarding this :- "I tried this clutch with Er. and consider it is a definite improvement and if we can rely on the production clutches being up to this standard, after the mileage this car has done, I feel that the clutch troubles will be reduced to a minimum. There is one point, and that is that this clutch is rather on the slow side in stopping." C. | ||
