| X5310 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}18/KT.20.11.33. GEAR LEVER RATTLES. Will you please make us a gear gate to the attached Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1213. The gear lever should be as on the 20/25, the knob screwed on the lever and all the normal reverse catch arrangement omitted. The lift up catch on the gate should be tight sideways so as not to rattle. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
