CLUTCHES AS PROPHETS
When, a clutch slips and then grabs, it prophesies that the units are going to fall completely within a short while. The slipping is the result ,of the plates having been burned, but when slipping is forced upon the clutch the plates heat, expand, and grab. The plates arc burned again, so that they slip worse than ever. Such a process cannot continue indefinitely.'Usually such a clutch will fail completly after five or six stops in traffic.
