| C O P Y. COPY. R13/P 3.11.13. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy for Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Re Side Levers for 4 speed box. X. 582. With reference to the remarks on your sheet 2541, that the fixed quadrant will cause some trouble through the frame not being true, I do not think this will be the case. My own fear is that the grit may cause some trouble. The scheme is however particularly simple. It is worth a trial. F.H.R. | ||
