File 1153 To HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH{R. Hollingworth} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}8/JMc.14.5.40. Senior Range Gearboxes. Re your memo HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/CP.5/SW.30.4.40. The new senior boxes are allocated to chassis as follows:- 30.G.V11 31.G.V11 33.G.V11 4.B.50 11.B.V 2.RT.11 1 spare for use with the alum 8 cyl. unit in new chassis. You will see that we are unable to allocate a new box to 1.R.1. so that it will be necessary to machine the old type clutch casing. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J.
