| X328 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.19/KW.2.12.35. Phantom III Gearbox. We have never tried the narrow synchromesh cones which were schemed originally (N.Sch.4049). We think that these may possibly give better bedding and hence a smoother change. Will you please prepare the necessary pieces for this arrangement, which we believe have been detailed. We are only interested in the narrow cone portion of the scheme.
