40/50 HP. CHASSIS CLUTCH.

We feel that now the torque on the Car engine is increased and that we have fitted the oil retaining ring so that more oil is retained in the clutch, that the clutch spring on our cars is on the weak side. We should like you to order for experimental purposes, clutch springs 10% to 20% stronger.
