| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ✓ copy Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 15840. PN.{Mr Northey}4/PH.5.1.31. 18-G-4. You mention that with this car it is necessary to take down the engine when removing the gear box. I am not quite sure whether I heard you aright or what modification has been introduced which entails such disadvantageous additional amount of work when, for instance, attending to the clutch which at present means the withdrawal of the gear box. I should be glad to have any information on this point. PN.{Mr Northey}PH | ||
