Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KW21.12.33. Textolite Timing Gears. ------------------------ The more we see of the standard timing gears, the more anxious we are to get Textolite gears running. The scheme we want to utilise is the one outlined in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/KT.27.11.33. We should like to try a water pump and cam wheel pinions in both the materials which are available, i.e., the Textolite and the Ford Company's material.
