| W/S: To JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 328 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}24/AP.15.7.37 PH.III. GEARBOX. Thanks for your memo on the running cars have at Coachbuilders. It does not seem that you can do anything better for gearboxes than you are doing now, without asking you to do the impossible. From our point of view, we are looking into giving the spigot bush more clearance so as to reduce the possibility of seizure. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
