| Leyland Continuation of a letter -2- From LEYLAND MOTORS LIMITED, the chassis to come down to Derby, so that you could actually try it out down there and at the same time the box could be changed over, or alternatively perhaps you could let us have the necessary parts up at Leyland for conversion purposes. There is no doubt at all that the change in this box has convinced everybody here at Leyland that it is streets ahead of anything else that has been tried, and has actually convinced us that this is the only solution to an easy change parallel shaft gearbox.
