| Sgd. from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X523. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/T/13.4.31. Re Epicyclic Easy Change Gearbox Thanks for your memo Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}21/E10.4.31. Personally I think it would be inadvisable for you to write to R.{Sir Henry Royce} on the subject at this moment. There are developments taking place with this box which, of course, may considerably improve the prospects. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}, Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} and others are busy on this subject and therefore I advise you to wait a little. Possibly you will be seeing Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} on Wednesday next, when I understand he is coming to London with some cars.
