| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X212 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.12/KW. 25.11.35. Bentley Clutch. We are anxious that the travel of the clutch pedal should accommodate as much lining wear as possible. At present the pedal is permitted to rise some .900" before it comes up against the stop on the floorboards, and we should like to increase this amount by 25% if possible. We have set up a clutch pedal in this position and found that it is convenient for driving. Will you please look into the matter to see what can be done. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
