S/W. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 312 ? Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/D2.7.37. Re: Lightened Clutch Pedal Pressure. Referring to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.24.6.37 and Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}11/D28.6.37, I have tried this on 32-EX. and think it excellent, so you need not trouble specially about my trying 33-EX. I believe that a Standardisation Sheet has gone round for increased travel of pedal but that it has not gone round for this particular scheme. Could you please let me know what the position is about it and how soon we can hope to derive the benefit on production? Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
