| 32S To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls} from Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}3/T16.4.37 PHANTOM III SYNCHRO-MESH CONES Reference RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/Cy3/IS31.3.37 The six gear boxes referred to in the above memo have proved very satisfactory on test. In four cases the synchro-mesh worked perfectly, and the remaining two were satisfactory after a small amount of use. In our opinion they are much more satisfactory than the lapped cone. | ||
