With reference to Experimental Report No. 4274, referring to the 20 h.p. gearbox with right-hand levers, if a right-hand gate is to be fitted on any models in future, it is hoped that some arrangement can be made to prevent the draught which on the 40/50 h.p. inevitably freezes the driver's right leg in winter time.
