| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X212 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}21/KW.30.10.35. Could you give us an idea of the approximate relative cost of labour and material for the flywheel only of the present Bentley clutch, N.Sch.3948, and the Borg & Beck arrangement Ex.18198. We want these figures in order to be able to point out to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} how much cheaper the Borg & Beck arrangement will be.
