(2) RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}1/MS18.1.35. (7) FAN ADJUSTMENT Belt removal and adjustment present no difficulty. (8) CLUTCH Clutch as fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III No.1. is rather inaccessible and difficult to dismantle, but the re-designed Clutch with Single Plate seems much better in these respects. This can be confirmed after fitting to SpectreCodename for Phantom III No. 2. (9) STARTER MOTOR Exhaust downtake pipe must be detached before removing Starter Motor. It would be an advantage if stops were provided to take engine weight when Rear Suspension is removed for clutch attention etc. Handwritten note: JACK'S MOUNTING on X IN FRAME RHO/HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} | ||
