| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +228 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/KW.17.7.34. 1-B-IV. Will you please fit to this car N.Sch.4095 for preventing rattles of the synchromesh mechanism when starting off in second gear. This is exactly as already fitted to 4-B-IV, but we want to make sure whether it effects a cure on a standard car such as customers are buying. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
