| X 5310 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M15.7.31. Copy to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 4. - SYNCHRO MESH GEARBOX. X.5310. X.5470. We recently sent you a drawing for the pedals of the above gearbox using existing forgings. But we presume that you have either standardised or will shortly be standardising, the adjustable type of pedal which demands a new forging in any case. If this is so we should like to modify the clutch pedal giving it a greater set, which would enable us to retain the full stroke of the clutch as at present. Would you therefore kindly report the position of the adjustable pedals on the 25 HP? Upon what series are they likely to become standard. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
