| X-28 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/KT.3.10.33. GEAR LEVER RATTLES - 2.B.IV. This is to confirm our asking you to make the knob a good fit on the lever in this car. Hdy.{William Hardy} has suggested our trying this to overcome the present rattle. Perhaps you have a knob not completely machined or could bush the existing one. We have to clear this matter up for production within about ten days.
