Bentley Clutch.

Further to our memo. reference Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KW.21.1.35, we have decided that we do not wish to standardise the lightened flywheel to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1416, but instead should like a flywheel to G.56836, which is exactly as that run on 21-G-IV in France.
