| W/K.{Mr Kilner} To KC. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}, 261 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/AP.30.12.37. I had a word on the 'phone last night with Dykes senior, who sounded very disgruntled about the clutch judders on his 3½. He is hoping to let you have the car sometime next week. If correcting the finger setting does not make the clutch 100%, I should recommend re-fitting Ferodo linings, as I do not think either of the Dykes are the sort of drivers to wear clutches out.
