It would appear that we are likely to adopt the Borg & Beck clutch on the big bore 20/25. This would demand a different flywheel from that at present called for. Would you therefore arrange to go from hand to mouth on these parts and not get heavily into the machining for the bulk of the material for this series. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
