That’s the first time I remember reading about a clutch engagement speed, 1200 rpm.

Agreed , Rick .

I don't recall that 'spec' , either .

Hmm , my clutch seems to engage sooner than 1200 RPMs .
Maybe I need stiffer springs . Mine are original .

This article speaks of production numbers in the market place but still none specifically about Simplex.  My quest continues!

Production numbers are highly classified trade secrets!  If you need the numbers, ask Hillary.  LOL
