Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/WJ. 23.8.30. Re. Failure of Phantom Clutches. --------------------------------- We wish to try out tests with the test bed, engine, a clutch fitted up with new fabrics. The test is to make it slip a fair amount to see whether we can bring out the residue in the material. This means the clutch will have to be dismantled several times before we can obtain the results desired. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
