| -2- Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}6/D15.2.33 GEARBOX: Reverse gear tends to jump out directly load is removed; Loss of oil from front bearing; And then there is DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/11.2.33, memo. referred to above, the reason for which I do not under- stand. BRAKES: Water gets into the brake-drums and upsets their operation; Offside front brake has a bad bias and too much foot pressure is required generally for operation. I suggest that you should have a discussion as soon as possible with Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and anyone else concerned, so that you and I can discuss the matter when we meet next week and also be prepared regarding what to tell the Board on Friday week.
