If we take the case of the clutch, almost all our troubles so far have been due to the fact that we expect the clutches to come in 100%. We are now going to spend about 2/6d per clutch here bringing the setting to our requirements, and we are sure we shall then have an article which will please the customer as well as anything that we can design and make.
