Kitson Pease Gearbox

Hi,
During my Royal Enfield WD/CO research, I have now found a 1943 War Department document which states that contract S/3357 should be delivered "with Kitson Pease gearbox". Has anybody ever heard of these gearboxes? To my knowledge, no Royal Enfield has ever been made with this make (???) of gearboxes, only Albion (and Burman for one single contract) gearboxes have been used for these military motorcycles. Is it slang? If so, what does it mean?
REgards,
Jan
 
rewdco, your best bet is to write or email The Motorbike Museum in Brum as they have rebuilt a couple of WW2 bikes since the fire they had which destroyed a lot of their stock.... someone will put their address up in a bit you can bet
