BENSPORT CLUTCH OPERATION.

Herwith we send N. sch. 3587 shewing the modifications to the clutch operation called for by the use of the J.I. engines.

Owing to the increased dia. of the case we have had to set the clutch pedal.

We have also slightly modified the lengths of the other levers, but the general principle is the same.
