Huckerby}7.12.33 see our note (6) The rattle on pick up on top gear after about 30 m.p.h., which seems to emanate from the gear box, is still there. (noticed on 23A.C.). (7) No alteration appears to have been made as regards the horn button and it is still easily 'missed'. (8) Change-gear Mechanism Vibration. This still takes place at higher engine speeds, which appears to be a rattle of the lever in the quadrant itself. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} EP.{G.
