| HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/W4.2.31. x2061. CHRYSLER GEARBOX. In view of the latest telegrams from R. {Sir Henry Royce} re. gear change from the steering column etc, we think it is very important that we should know whether the Chrysler gearbox with the Maybach jaws makes a good change. If you could report favourably on this it might avoid us starting on a new design of gearbox, which will be required if the steering column change is decided upon. This is sure to mean a very appreciable delay. RECEIVED 4 FEB 1931 | ||
