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.
