Clutch Control Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/MJ.9.8.33. C4/D10.8.33 I note your suggestion in regard to this and it seems a very good one, inasmuch as the driver does not have to change his habits of using the clutch but it lightens the load for traffic work. I shall be very pleased to try it out on my car, which is used a good deal for traffic work, as I think it might be a very attractive feature to many drivers. I presume that it will not involve you in a great deal of expense and trouble in these times, when I know you have so much in hand. C. | ||
