Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} From. G.W.H. 2I. G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} IV. Will you please let us have a drawing of the Change Speed Lever and Connection. Without dismantling, which takes approximately 4 hours, we do not know whether there is a steel sleeve for the outer housing. The job as we know, is, the shaft is soft. The balls were free in the cage. ---------- G.W.Hancock G.W.H. | ||
