3.B.lV.

The clutch and everything likely to affect it is standard on this car except for a modification to the lubrication of the prop. shaft sliding joint, and the inertia rings in the prop. shaft damper which are in C.I. instead of S/ZN.

Will you please verify that the sliding joint is free and that the damper is correctly set (2 to 2 1/2 lbs. at 17 1/2 ins.)

Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth.
