DR. GRY{Shadwell Grylls}- X328 c. E.B.Dr. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} RHG. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}/HDY.{William Hardy}1/HP.30.9.36. Phantom III Gearbox. Will you kindly cancel the instructions for the strengthened universal ring 2nd speed coupling to N.Sch.4902 (E/HDY.{William Hardy}2/HP.11.9.36) as it is now thought that if the temporary scheme on the same drawing with slight modifications (which you have since detailed) is not satisfactory we shall have to go to an increased size of synchromesh unit.
