V4244 Bk{A. Birkett - Commercial Manager}5/DN/11.5.22. S/W. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3 GOSHAWK TWO. Thank you for the new clutch springs, which have now been fitted. They have cured the slipping under ordinary conditions but if the clutch is abused slightly such as getting away on top gear with load, there is still a certain amount of slip which continues for a little time under ordinary conditions.
