Rocker Arms.

(40/50 HP. E.77708.
(20/25 HP. E.57179/80.
(Bentley. E.54946/7.

We are fixing up for bushing the rockers under the hand press, and we find certain difficulty owing to the 20/25 HP. being different from the others by having one bush only, in place of the two short bushes which are pressed in from either end on 40/50 HP. and Bentley.

We see no reason for this, whilst it increases the labour for drilling and pegging the rocker and separate fitting rigs to accommodate.

Will you consider bringing the rockers into line.
