To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}

re L.H.P.II.Gearbox. Sideshaft Failure.

Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}17/El.6.32

Referring to R7/M30.5.32 received this morning, I think it would be advisable for you to make it clear to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Hdy{William Hardy} that the gear that failed was one "off" and not standard production.

Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}
