| ROLLS-ROYCE OF AMERICA, INC. SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 78300 Oy1-E-11626 November 6th, 1926 Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. Hives, Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby, England. Dear Mr. Hives: Re Clutch Many thanks for your cable re clutch. I think we are making a better job of this now by attending to the points of your cable. Is the new clutch with springs behind back plate a great improvement as regards softness of engagement? We have in mind to try one with a view to changing over as soon as possible. Yours very truly, Maurice Olley MO/E | ||
