[Handwritten signature] Please receive PD.456 and PD.467 Anti-Rattle device on 3rd and 4th speed synchromesh cones. PD.456 has been tried and found to have rather too much anti-rattle torque to suit the overdrive synchromesh, so PD.467 has been produced to supersede it. Details of latter urgently required.
