| To Dn. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MJ.19.4.32. We are unable to trace what happened to the drawing of the Buick gearbox. The Mailing Dept., here have records which show that it was sent off. I have despatched to you under separate cover the latest Delco Buick damper. Buicks' insist that the ends of the pistons should be made solid on these dampers, but other cars taking the same product hollow out the end of the piston and vent it through a small hole in the top as per attached sketch.
