With reference to the change speed lever on the above chassis, which Mr. Royce had here during last weekend, he considers that we might halve the centralising spring load for this. We think also the locating plunger springs could exert less power, and we would ask you to note that we are particularly desirous in the future that all locating plungers should have their spherical ends thus - AJS.
