| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C.R.Y.L. X228 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} In conversation with Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} the other day about our cars, both RR and Bentley, he mentioned a small irritating complaint, i.e. change speed lever rattles, i.e. the little knob for depressing and getting into reverse. I do feel that this is a matter which could be easily overcome if it were tackled possibly something in the way of a rubber washer at the top would do the trick. I should be glad if you could put one of your people on to it. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
