Clutch disc confusion

[cobram at juno.com]

I would never trust the illustration to look exactly like it's supposed
to, they seem to recycle them quite a bit in the various Bentleys.  I
recall coming across several illustrations in the later 200 Bentley which
used generic illustrations from the earlier 5KS manual, of course the
illustrations weren't even close to what the text was describing nor the
components of the car.  Same thing can be found in the ETKA, many of
those illustrations are recycled, and usually a part that isn't present
on the model you're looking for will come up as NA when highlighted.

I believe the "spring cage" refers to the cage itself, the part that is
higher on one side and holds the large torsion springs.  Higher cage side
always goes towards pressure plate, irregardless of the smaller chatter
springs or widgets (don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.)
;-)   So http://www.pbase.com/kneale_brownson/image/68746052 gets my
vote.
