| To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. from G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /Rb. {R. Bowen} 1260 - G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /Rb. {R. Bowen} 5/K/73/R.14.5.38. Wraith Radiator Mounting - SEC.5250,7000 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.7/MH. {M. Huckerby} 11.5.38. We have compared the costs of the two schemes for the Wraith Radiator mounting , i.e.SCD.569 with"Firestone" Mounting Block No.42234 and the standard mounting on the Wraith production chassis, the result, showing a saving in factory cost of approximately 4/6d per chassis on the former scheme. In the cost of the new type mounting (SCD.569), we have estimated the"Firestone" Mounting Block as bought out at a cost of 1/- each. Consideration should of course be given to the question of tool costs incurred in respect of existing pieces. G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /Rb. {R. Bowen} | ||
