re Humber Epicyclic Gearbox.

I am in receipt of E.6/HP.10.11.33. I shall be glad to know whether the patterns for the gearbox referred to in the first paragraph are for both 40/50 and 20/25.
I have noted with interest the other remarks in your memo. and the penultimate paragraph rather bears out what Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} said some time ago and to which I referred in my memo.
