| To Mr. Mills G.O. from EH EH1/LG2.4.19. 2nd. April 1919. X.3205 With reference to attached we note that Messrs. Calcott Bros. Ltd. state that they now fit malleable cone clutch lined with Thermoid. If this type of clutch will fit in in place of the aluminium cone leather lined clutch as was fitted to the earlier cars, we should prefer to have one of these rather than the malleable clutch lined with leather. We want them to send us the best clutch they recommend to replace the aluminium leather lined one. EH. R.R. (200 & D) (T.S.) (F.S. 100) 25-10-18.
