| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X2/2 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.8/KW.19.11.35. Bentley Clutch. We are anxious that the travel of the clutch pedal should accommodate as much lining wear as possible. At present the pedal is permitted to rise some .900" before it comes up against the stop on the floorboards, and we should like to increase this amount by 50% if possible. Will you please look into the matter to see what can be done. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
