E.N.V. Gearbox.
---------------

N. Sch.3830 herewith shews how we propose to fit a servo to the E.N.V. gearbox which is to be tried on a 20/25 car.

We shew a sleeve on the front end of the shaft with splines which are to be broached with the same broach as is used for the 20/25 propeller shaft.

Work that is necessary on the gearbox is to be done at the E.N.V. Works.

Would you kindly let us have two prints as soon as possible.

HDY.{William Hardy}
