Hanbury - Head Complaints} BORG & BECK CLUTCH FITTED TO 25HP. Herewith we send N. sch. 3504. showing an adaptation of the Borg & Beck clutch to the 25HP. Would you please have a clutch ordered from the Automotive Products Co. Ltd. Brock House, Langham Street. London. W. 1. Their size is 10-A/1. We should also like them to supply their standard self lubricating thrust block for use if found desirable. It is suggested that the testing of this clutch will be of use to us as a comparison with our own, especially as regards materials, pressure per square inch, and co-efficient of friction.
