| ORIGINAL TO [struck through: BY] FROM AJS. AJS1/M27.8.24. Copy to - [struck through: HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}] GOSHAWK 111. FOUR SPEED SIDE CHANGE GEAR-BOX. 4650 We send herewith drawing No. LeC. 1912., giving further particulars of the forward end of the casing of the above. This drawing shews the housing for the reverse shaft forward bearing. We have made a slight modification to enable the large constant mesh wheel to be assembled into the slot in this housing. We shall be glad if Derby will make an independent check of the assembly of the parts in the box. LeC. 1912., also shews the clutch inspection hole in cover, which has now been arranged on the side of the casing. The housing for the starting/pinion is as hitherto. We hope to send you the drawing of the clutch operating mechanism tomorrow. AJS. [Illegible purple ink stamp] | ||
