Herewith we send N.sch.3312 showing the lubrication of the clutch operating shaft, as promised.
It will be seen that we suggest that the lubrication and the stop screw for the bush should be combined.
There is a modification to the position of the boss on the brake compensator shaft.
With reference to the bolts holding the gearcase to the clutch pit these have to be stopped, and we wish them to be done with a soft iron ring in the manner shown on N.sch.3156.
