X5310 C. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 25 HP. S.M. GEARBOX. We presume that the experiment shewn on N.sch. 3396 are proceeding, and that we shall hear the results in due course. In the meanwhile we should like to point out that ther is one point on that drawing which must be incorpor-ated in all gearboxes, that is to say, the reduced size of pin in the outer sliding sleeve.
