| S/W 237. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re 4¼-litre Bentley. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}9/E8.1.37 Referring to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E18.12.36 re propeller shaft damper, you will remember we decided that a Depot Instruction Sheet would be issued, instructing Depots to fit these in certain cases, with an explanation about how they could cure a juddering clutch, and I was going to send the Trials car, that you cured by this method, to Kingsbury for them to try it with and without the damper so as to appreciate the point. I have been waiting, however, for the Sheet to be issued but I do not seem to have seen it yet. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
