| 1030 728 To RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GRYS. Re Myth Gearbox. In order to get the first Myth on the road we may have to fit a proprietary gearbox, & the Hillman Minx was suggested. We now suggest the Hillman 14 H.P. which is the same box but made to stand the greater torque by the use of better steel. In order to make the necessary designs we would like to get hold of a full scale arrangement of the box, & also a casing detail. Further help would be particulars of the engine coupling & propshaft joint fittings on the box. We wonder if you have any means of getting hold of these drawings. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
