| COPY. To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from My/JW. My/JW3/139/M29.12.22. RE. STANDARDISATION SHEET No. 3587. BIJUR TYPE BENDIX DRIVE FOR S.M. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. In accordance with your 'phone enquiry of even date., we have taken a superficial glance over the two schemes, and are of the opinion the new Drive will show an increase in Cost of approximately £2. 0. 0. We will, in due course, go into the job in detail, but at present we are too full up with stock valuation. Should this changeover be brought in forthwith, there would be a considerable amount of scrap. My/JW. | ||
