CADILLAC GEARBOX.
DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M25.4.32.
81729.
With reference to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/MJ20432., it will be noticed that the speeds are not 3 synchro mesh, but 2 synchro mesh and an ordinary jaw clutch change.
We wondered whether you might wish to correct the wording, which may be somewhat misleading.
