| S/W GRY{Shadwell Grylls} 361 ? C5/C22.12.37 Re Mr.Harris....3.AX.293. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GRY{Shadwell Grylls}4/AP17.12.37 ----- I note that you have a pair of gears which will make the ratio 8% higher than standard and I shall be glad if you will please reserve these for Mr.Harris. Will you please let me know in rough figures what the cost would be of effecting this changeover - I do not want to you to go into a lot of detail. Presumably the speedometer will have to be altered. Does this present any difficulty? If you can let me know by Friday I shall be glad. C. | ||
