| X112. By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) CLUTCH. We have not yet found the cause of the clutch slip experienced on Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). We therefore recommend building up the 6 chassis with springs to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 667 although these are apparently unnecess-arily strong. These springs in conjunction with the lever Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 672 give a reasonable pedal effort and the clutch is not affected by the diminished separation. Will EIO. please supply By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} with details of any modifications required to the cartridges or pressure plate. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
