| 10H6 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C. to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. File Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}6/JH.14.2.40. MODIFIED CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING CARRIER. LEFT HAND SENIOR RANGE. It has been found necessary to transfer the lubrication pipe to the clutch release bearing carrier from the left hand side of the engine to the right hand. In other words this lubrication pipe is on the same side for left and right hand cars. It could not be on the left hand side of the unit on the left hand cars because it got in the way of the accelerator pedal and its controls. We are asking HH. to modify the detail of the clutch casing and the clutch actuation shown on PL.88 incorporating this new scheme PL.112 of which we enclose two prints. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Enclosed 4 copies of memo. 2 prints of PL.112. | ||
