"There was no clutch system in the venerable old Sea Pig.

The clutch to which I referred was the unit which permitted you to go from ACC Drive to Main Drive.

But it was not a friction plate type clutch as you would have in your car. It was a sliding gear which could be brought into and taken out of engagement

If you do not wish to call it a clutch then that's OK by me......it just takes us back to post number 10 in which I said that free power turbines do not need clutches.
