Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}12/KW. 20.8.35.

Phantom Gearbox.

Will you please let us know as soon as a car is available either in Derby or Cricklewood, that is suffering from the trouble of second gear jumping out of mesh. We should like to have an opportunity of trying the car before anything is altered, and also of measuring up certain parts of the gearbox.
