| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} c. to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 47941 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 3/KW.23.11.34. Rear Axle Gears. This is to let you know that the 10/50 axle gears for 21-G-IV which we asked for the other day are no longer required, as Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has said that there is no time for such an improvement on 20/25 chassis. Will you please obtain from production a pair of 12/41 gears for 28-EX. The present gears are exceedingly noisy, and we wish to run new ones on the new Wakefield's High Pressure Lubricant. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
