PHANTOM II CLUTCH.

We have a report from C.W.H. that the clutch on 24-EX. car has failed. The pressure plate which was made in cast iron has cracked. We have not yet seen the cracked plate but as the failure appears to start from the inside, we are making the bore smaller and testing them to destruction.
