| S/W To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}H. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Gear Lever Rattles on Bentley Cars and 20/25 HP Cars. I see that Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} is saying that there is no cure which can be applied to existing cars. I was under the impression that the scheme which we have decided to standardise could be applied to existing cars although I do not know what it would mean from the point of view of the amount of work. Would you please let me know ~~the~~ because the question of gear lever rattles is one of our very common complaints on both models and has become worse on the 20/25 with the rubber engine mounting.
