Leslie} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}6/R.10.3.37. The Design Dept. are very shortly issuing a simpler gearbox to engine stay than the experimental one. Will you please have this fitted to the P.III bump chassis, and at the same time will you arrange for a connection between the rear axle and the back of the gearbox to represent the load required to slide the propeller shaft and under full top gear torque.
