| - 4 - If this were the approved plan we should recommend the form of box and gearshift used on the Stutz (illustrated in attached sheets) which uses the conventional 3-speed shift with an "emergency low" controlled by trigger. The ratios should then be approximately the same as those used in the present English 4-speed box. OY. Maurice Olley COPY | ||
