[Background watermark text: MADE AT CROXLEY] [Pasted typed text:] The trigger of the change speed lever stuck up several times, it was choked with mud, the box section of the trigger seems liable to do this. It is very essential with the 3 gates that the trigger should work freely or else when one is changing down on a hill, it is easily to make a mess of it by going into the reverse gate. The whole of the side lever mechanism gets choked with mud and I should recommend some sort of guard unless booting is fitted. [Handwritten note:] X/155 | ||
