| 666 To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/JRD. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}16/JH.27.11.39. LEFT HAND GEARBOXES. With regard to our telephone conversation this morning we are wondering whether we can get the new gears and shafts out of the existing forgings and should therefore like to measure the forgings to see whether they will make the new drawings. The parts in question are - 1st. motion shaft GB.4843. 2nd. motion shaft GB.4987 or GB.5188 3rd. motion shaft GB.4880 Overdrive driven gear GB.4090 2nd. speed driven gear GB.5125.
