Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Handwritten]: 312 1110 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/AP.23.8.37 THERMOID LININGS The success of the Thermoid Lining on the Ph.III. clutch has been so complete, that we think we should, without delay, order linings to be fitted to 25/30 and Bentley clutches. We have run these linings on a number of Experimental cars and they confirm the good results obtained on the Ph.III. In the meantime, we are continuing to work with Ferodos with the idea of getting something just as good produced in England. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
