GEARBOX FAILURE - SENIOR RANGE.
---------------------------------

Will you please make drawings of the following:-

1 - A sleeve for the side shaft, to enable us to reclaim shafts that have been damaged by failure of the roller bearings.

2 - A drawing to enable us to use the four cylinder cam shaft that was prepared for a six cylinder engine, in the unit we are now building.

3 - I would like a general arrangement of the Myth engine, for reference purposes.

Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
