Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} R.M.C. Parker out P3 WST Sliding Handle actuation for Gear Lever - Bensport. We have made further modifications to N. Sch.3670 to cheapen the construction, and attach N. Sch.3765 which shows what is now suggested. The principal alterations are: (1) The use of a round pin instead of a flat cotter. (2) The knob is screwed directly on to the central piece to which the rod is attached, and one sleeve is eliminated thereby. [Signature] HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
