To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from CJ. Experimental Work. CJ7/E16/10/25

I notice in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s list of Work in Production in the Experimental Department, under the heading ZAC.I., there bs{A J. Barnes - Assistant Manager} mention made of a three speed gearbox.

Surely we do not want to experiment with the three speed gearbox for the 40/50 HP chassis? The Sales people certainly do not want a three speed gearbox.
