| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ1/H20.8.24. CHANGE GEAR MECHANISM. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG15.8.24, as I am leaving for my holidays at the end of this month, and as the design for the E.A.C.II gearbox is being completed, can you please let us know when we are likely to be able to test this gear mechanism, as we do not want it to get too far ahead, in case the Sales officials consider it might not be suitable for customers' use.
