Further to our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}20/KW.29.1.35. in which we have asked you to increase the inertia of the flywheel on B-9 unit, we forgot to add that this means reverting to a 10" Borg & Beck clutch instead of the 11" at present fitted. There should be one of these 10" clutches at present doing nothing. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
