Referring to your queries in respect to the above, would you kindly note that we shall shortly send you schemes RECEIVED shewing how the reverse pinion should be incorporated, and giving exact particulars of the bolting at the front end of the box.
Also referring to your recent note concerning the pinion for the universal between the clutch and gear box, we hope to send you before Christmas, exact particulars of the modifications which should be made to meet the objections raised.
