It is regrettable that a demonstration was not possible. Mr. Last had no intention of spending any money himself on making a gearbox suitable for a car, hoping that we should do so for him. When we can say whether mathematically the scheme will work a decision can be made as to what, if any, steps to take. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
