| S/W....Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1110 C12/C29.1.40 CLUTCHES ON CARS STORED. With reference to Rml/MH{M. Huckerby}25.1.40, you will note that Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} states that Phantom IIIs, Wraiths and 4 1/4-litre Bentleys are all likely to be affected by the thermoid clutch lining material, and there is no objection to the jacking-out process. In the circumstances, do you agree to the suggestion contained in my memo? If so, I will get out the necessary notice. C. | ||
