| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} at S. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4012 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/AD2.12.31. We hear from Sanderson & Holmes who have been in telephonic communication with Chryslers London that the straight tooth continuous mesh gears are fitted to the 32 HP. Imperial Chrysler only. If this is so the car we tried during the London Motor Show would seem to be a satisfactory effort. Sanderson and Holmes state that no 20 HP. Chrysler cars fitted with the straight tooth gears have come into this country. This information may be of some use to you in discussing the matter while you are in London.
