To Hdy.{William Hardy} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/MJ.24.4.34.

Here is a picture of the Cadillac 16 gearbox and the Lincoln gearbox.

The Cadillac car will be here in a very short time so that you will be able to get the exact scale from the car.

The Lincoln clutch is the Borg and Beck one of which I sent particulars from America. I expect you have the dimensions, if not we can supply them. This will give you the scale.
