| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x261d Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW.5.11.35. Chassis B-10-DG. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Thompson Esq. It has been agreed that we can fit a 10" Borg & Beck clutch to B-10-DG, my father-in-law's car. He has worn out two standard clutches completely in 7,000 miles. I am asking the Repair Dept. to send the engine over here so that we can do the job. There is a flywheel and first motion shaft available. The clutch we are allotting to the job is the non-ventilated one which has been prepared for B-19. We wanted a ventilated clutch fitting to B-19 in any case, and this has been ordered and should be available by the end of the week.
