Clutch (Bentley). With reference to our letter Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC{N. R. Chandler}5/JH of August 2nd ordering another 10" Long C.F. Clutch, I visited Leamington yesterday and brought the clutch back with me, complete with driven plate. Attached is Advice Note. 13¼" "Borglite" Driven Plate (P.III). I also brought an experimental 13¼" driven plate of a new type, the "Borglite". Borg & Beck have made this up for us free of charge, but as it is mounted on a P.III hub supplied by us and for which B. & B. have paid us £1/2/10, with rivets, please send our official order for the plate for which we only pay the price of our hub and rivets, the B. & B. parts mounted thereon being supplied F.O.C.
