-3- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/MJ.18.2.33. Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} We have been over this list with RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} and he is definite that the modification necessitated by dynamo drive are the controlling features. The other small alterations can all be got in in the same time. The crankcase pattern which is being altered for the dynamo drive is a modified type one which was going through. The object of it is to reduce the cost of production and we definitely want this for the 25HP. as well as the Bensport, and it was thought that rather than interfere with existing 25 HP. patterns we should make the new one suitable for the altered dynamo drive. It is proposed to adopt this crankcase for the 25 HP. as well as the Bensport. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
