[Spridgets] Clutch hydraulic line

[guy.weller at tiscali.co.uk]

It seems to me that (for well adjusted brakes) you are using the 
hydraulics to transmit pressure, rather more than movement of a 
quantity of fluid.  Whereas on a clutch you actively pump a volume of 
fluid through the connecting pipes to the slave. I know that there is 
movement in both cases, but it is a matter of degree. And, for a 
clutch, you want the least resistance in the process so the larger bore 
pipe alows the fluid through easily.

I also wonder if it helps or hinders in the notorious clutch bleeding 
process?
