Bentley Clutch.

Herewith are N. Sch's 4105/6 showing a modification to the flywheel cover to facilitate truing up the withdrawal sleeve in position.

Of the two schemes, Sft.{Mr Swift} has said that N. Sch.4106 best meets their requirements for effecting this improvement, so would BY please put this one in hand.

No doubt this modification will also be extended to the 25-HP when convenient.
