Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG20.3.23. GLEASON GEARS FOR REPAIRS. As we are not now producing any 16 X 52 Gears for production, we recommend that we should stop producing this ratio for repair cars. It would no doubt give better satisfaction on any car to fit the 15 X 52 in place of the 16 X 52. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
