| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c EJJ. 110 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.9.11.37. Thermoid Clutch Linings. We recommend that the two rigs to the attached drawing are put through to facilitate the fitting of Thermoid clutch linings to customers cars. If we have no quick method of checking the clutch springs, it means that the clutch has to be sent back to Borg & Beck, which is expensive. At the present moment there is no intention of departing from the Borg & Beck clutch on Wraith, B.3 or B.50, and, therefore, the rigs will be useful for a considerable time to come.
