| W/S. {Derby Works / Sales} Mr. Lauro C/O PN. {Mr Northey} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. PN {Mr Northey} 'S TRIALS CAR - 46-PK. I am not sure whether you are aware that there is a universal joint inside the clutch on the EAC. engine which is lubricated through a hole in the engine coupling shaft. It will be necessary to be sure that you do not over-oil this or the oil is likely to get into the clutch. We should recommend that you give this about 1/8 of a syringeful every 1000 miles.
