| 428 RHS. c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hsv. BENTLEY V.{VIENNA} GEAR BOX. Instructions have now been issued for the lightened synchromesh cones. These were the outstanding pieces, which although they have been cleared by the D.O. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} had been asked to leave them until the last minute, which would enable him to complete his box without delay. As a result of work done by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} we have been able to clear the particular issue, which was under consideration and issue instructions for the lightened cones.
