Re. Valve Tappet Spanner - E4372.

Mr.Dalley. EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 3/W18614.

I have received the above, but
the spanner does not appear to be exactly
on the lines of the original idea.

It may be an improvement, but at
present I cannot see it.

The jaw at each end of the spanner
should be the same size, so that two
tappets can be locked at once.

I shall be glad to hear further
from you on this matter.
