| Mis 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. | ||
