| - 2 - E.6/HP.1.1.35. (6) Engine Suspension. It is intended that the rubbers for the front engine suspension can be removed and replaced without disturbing the engine, and the same should also apply to the suspension at the rear end of the power unit. (7) Fan Adjustment. The fan adjustment should obviously be sufficiently easy to operate, and it should be possible to replace the belt or entirely remove the fan without disturbing any other part of the installation. (8) Clutch. The usual accessibility for clutch adjustment is expected, but it is also provided that the casing surrounding the clutch can be removed, and we should like it confirmed that this can be done with reasonable facility. Information in connection with the above is sought at this stage so that in any design changes impending, improvements considered necessary can be dealt with both in respect to the items named and in connection with any others which may arise. The usual features in connection with oiling and greasing, and adjustments to brakes, we have not included in the above as we expect these will receive attention in the normal course of events.
