| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X1729. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M25.4.32. CADILLAC GEARBOX. X.1729 With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/MJ20432., it will be noticed that the speeds are not 3 synchro mesh, but 2 synchro mesh and an ordinary jaw clutch change. We wondered whether you might wish to correct the wording, which may be somewhat misleading. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
