| X5300 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KW.28.11.34: 20/25 HP. Improved Clutch. We have run several 10,000 miles tests with the new 20/25 flywheel and clutch to N.Sch:3948. We now want some experience of it in London traffic and are proposing to get it on 3 Trials cars. Will you therefore please prepare 3 sets of flywheels and clutches exactly as fitted to 21-G-IV. If we can get the bits through in time we want to get a set on chassis GLG-5 before it leaves the Works, because this is Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s new car which will later be used for Trials.
