| 200 W/S. To Bkl. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}7/MH.{M. Huckerby}23.8.39. Re MR. GIBSON MARTIN. Replying to your memo Bkl.4/22.8.39 we have no literature available on the Bentley overdrive gearbox. As you know it is exactly the same as the previous box except that the third speed is a gear up instead of a gear down. We have not written to Mr. Martin.
