Reference Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}14/T23.11.36, we note that you have no gearbox for Mr Pass' car, so we are taking no action in that matter. In so far as the clutch is concerned, I have ascertained that Mr Pass is sending his car in to N on Monday morning next for three clear days for general tuning up, etc. and he has understood from Br that they have a new clutch complete to fit to his car. Would this be the one to which you refer in the last paragraph of your memo having the new material similar to that fitted to 35-BX? I so, then there is nothing further to add, but if not could you arrange that a clutch complete with that material is in Br's hands by Monday for this car, if it is still your wish to have this material fitted to the clutch of this car for Mr Pass to use.
