| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} x 7300. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/MA.17.6.32. P.II CLUTCH SPRINGS. Will you please make 3 sets of springs to the accompanying sketch Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}652. We wish to fit one set of these to 19-EX either before the car goes or send them out to G.W.H. in France. It is thought that 19-EX clutch failed due to insufficient spring pressure, we should therefore like these springs as soon as possible.
