Clutch - 10,000 Miles Car. --------------------------- Herewith is N. Sch.3948, clutch for above car. The pedal pressure has been reduced from approximately 43 lbs to 33 lbs. The pressure per square inch has been reduced from approximately 37 lbs per square inch to 26 lbs.sq.inch. The inertia of the driven member is about the same as now. The inertia of the flywheel is the same as the present Bentley, and it is suggested that this should be used on the 20/25. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
