| H S X4094 X 312 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Clutches. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}4/E21.2.34 I have noticed in one or two of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'s memos. that he refers to certain manufacturers using the double plate clutch and after experience with it reverting to single plate clutch. If I remember correctly, when you showed me the drawing of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III, you were providing for a double plate clutch and in view of the above I am wondering whether you are reconsidering the matter.
