To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Gearboxes. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}18/E2.3.32
Copy to Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}

Thanks for Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/MJ.27.2.32. I quite agree with your recommendation, i.e. that we should look into the question of applying the synchro mesh to the second speed.

For reasons mentioned in your memo. I think this is very important.

When E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} next sees me in London I should be glad if he would make a point of speaking to me about this and I will keep it for discussion at our next meeting.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
