This column is for Name of Person addressed. DATE. -2- then these helical gears should give some advantage, but we are not really sure what is the cause of the trouble. The question of noisy side shaft gears was discussed at some length at a Committee Meeting held yesterday, the minutes of which will be sent off to you to-day. I am making this question of gears together with axle vibrations, the first experiments to be made as I understand they are of greatest importance. I hope to be able to report at greater length in the course of a few days. Will you kindly return the attached correspondence.
