Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KT.7.12.33. 11/41 AXLE GEARS. We hope to take the streamlined car over to Montlhery next week in order to get a timed speed, but the axle gears on this car as you will remember, are temporary ones. We should like to have the proper gears in this car before we do the test if they are available. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
