| To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} x528 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} 11/KW.18.7.35. Gear Lever Rattles on Bentley and 20/25 HP. Cars. Replying to Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 22/E.17.7.35. The scheme for the isolated change speed lever which has been standardised on the Bentley has always been applicable to existing cars. The scheme for the 20/25 as originally drawn did require a new gearbox, but E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} tells me that he has now altered this so that as standardised it too will be applicable retrospectively.
