Mr. V K Mehta, Past President ACMA and Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Clutch Auto Ltd, introduced his new R & D Department, giving the floor to his R&D Staff for a brief introduction to the different sectors of the Department.

The R&D facility is supported by two external Consultants from the U.K.; there are 4 sections in R&D, each separately headed by Design & Development Managers all of whom report directly to the Executive Director.

The Company's R&D is backed by the in-house facility for Quality Assurance through a Standard Room for calibration and dimensional co-ordinate easurements and Tool Room for development of new tools and prototype.

This new facility, said Mr. Mehta, would test the clutches to conform to the Indian habits of driving and by so doing, increase the life of the component by 100%, in terms of mileage!
