To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 17/KT.27.6.33. CLUTCH TRUNNION THRUST RACE NUT - BENTLEY. When the second flywheel became loose on the 3rd. Bentley, we found that the nut retaining the ball race had also slacked off. At the present moment there is only a small aluminium washer against which this is tightened. We think that in view of the trouble experienced some positive locking device is called for.
