Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} has asked me to report to you any clutch troubles which we get. The clutch on the above car was not at all a good one and jaggered badly, particularly when cold, but definitely improved when it got hot. N. have fitted a new plate of the latest type. We tried various settings of the fingers, but could not affect any improvement. JHL | ||
