With reference to the attached. The spring drive in the clutch has been found necessary to overcome customers complaints. As it is a new unit it is inevitable that there will be an increase in costs. We expect, however, there should be a saving in dealing with customers complaints. This same unit is standard on the 3 1/2 Litre Bentley. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Attached G/Rb.{R.
