X597 Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 26-6-14. It has been suggested that our Gear Oil Syringe is too small in the bore and Mr. Nadin remarks regarding this :- "Perhaps if we alter the oil for lubricating our gear box we may remove the cause of this complaint. In any case I would like to have the Experimental Dept. comments on this matter." Will you kindly let us have your views regarding this. p. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} [Signature] 29.6.14. Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} The present syringe will do for the proposed new gear box oil but this has not yet been adopted. I think it would be advisable to supply a larger bore nozzle for gear oil as all the cars on the road are using gear oil HH [STAMP: W.M.
