| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x4553 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}17/KW.19.9.34. 5-B-IV. There are two further designs through now which we wish to get on 5-B-IV - (1) A clutch like the disc clutches we have been manufacturing, experimental schemes, but agreed to by the Design Dept. This is N.Sch.4190. We should like to fit this clutch to B-10 unit instead of the disc flywheel of our own which we have previously instructed. (2) Front engine mounting to N.Sch.4167. This takes the place of the experimental mounting as at present fitted to this car. If you will manufacture a set of pieces to N.Sch.4167 we can then utilise the pieces on 5-B-IV for another car.
