To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT.27.11.33.

We want to get some of our cars running with Textolite gears fitted in conjunction with the balanced cam and also Textolite water pump drive gear. Attached are two sketches showing how this can be done. We should like to try two or three sets of these gears. We have already ordered the blanks. We feel sure that we shall ultimately go over to Textolite gears.

Attached is a list of the parts.
