Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}11/M18/12/23. 20HP Chassis. ------- CJ. is very keen indeed to get the new Gear Box with the side levers, in production at the earliest possible moment. We are losing many orders because we have not got side levers. CJ. is not keen about Front Wheel Brakes for the 20HP ; there is no demand for them. Can you tell me if possible tomorrow morning, what kind of a job it is and how long it is going to take us to get it standardised? It seems a most urgent matter.
