| -2- £ s. d. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Present Price of "Long" Clutch. - 2 5 0 Saving due to less expensive features_ 6 9 Resulting Price - 1 18 3. It is impossible for us to have items 9 and 11 with the "Long" type clutch, owing to the particular shape of the cover pressing. In view of the fact that all the "Long" type clutches which have been tested are completely standard articles built in America, except for the Thermoid facings, we consider that there is very little danger in going to a "Long" clutch costing £1.18s.3d. for the first Bentley V chassis.
