S/W Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x5300 C6/C29.1.35 Re 21-G-IV...Clutch. The following is copy of JLE{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager}'s report regarding this:- "I tried this clutch with Er. and consider it is a definite improvement and if we can rely on the production clutches being up to this standard, after the mileage this car has done, I feel that the clutch troubles will be reduced to a minimum. There is one point, and that is that this clutch is rather on the slow side in stopping." C. | ||
