| BY ) FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) ORIGINAL. GEARBOX. RECEIVED 1 MAY 1931 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}4/M1.5.31. 82061. This is to remind you that you will endeavour to get a Warner synchro-mesh gearbox for our inspection, or failing a box as much information as you can. While on this subject if it has not already been done we suggest that the teeth of say the 2nd. speed on the CHRYSLER gearbox should be investigated to see whether there is anything special about them, as it will be remembered that although apparently unground, and without any special finish, they ran remarkably quietly.
