X4244 X4267 I recommend and understand that the production chassis are going to be fitted with a ½" longer lever that will reduce the pressure required to free the clutch from 65 lbs. to 39 lbs. This is a very necessary modification and should be introduced before people adversely criticise this feature. RECEIVED Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 18 SEP 1922 R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
