Re Epicyclic Easy Change Gearbox

Thanks for your memo Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 21/E10.4.31. Personally I think it would be inadvisable for you to write to R. {Sir Henry Royce} on the subject at this moment. There are developments taking place with this box which, of course, may considerably improve the prospects. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} , Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} , Lid. {A. J. Lidsey} and others are busy on this subject and therefore I advise you to wait a little.

Possibly you will be seeing Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} on Wednesday next, when I understand he is coming to London with some cars.

Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}
