| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} X 5>10 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Ru2/LM.5. 8. 28. SPEEDOMETER GEAR RATIOS. X 4358 On Mr. Royce's car the mileage recorder reads 3% fast. As we propose to fit small instruments to both the two India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) chassis we are at present manufacturing, we think it is worth while altering the speedometer drive ratio in the gearbox by 3% on these two chassis so that we can get the correct speedometer to be used on all cars when the 19" rim comes on production. We attach a letter from Messrs. A.T. which explains the situation. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} | ||
