MIC. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}
c. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/MA. 2.12.32.

CLUTCH LEVERAGE - PEREGRINE.

We find that with the strong springs (170 lbs.) in the Peregrine clutch that the pedal effort is unpleasantly large. Per.II has had the increased leverage provided by the lever Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}672 and no ill effect has been noticed due to the decreased separation.

Will you please fit this lever to the next 3 cars and also to 3 Per.II for France.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Ty.
