| C O P Y. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}: from My/RB.{R. Bowen} My/RB{R. Bowen}13/M/139A/BJ5.10.26. STANDARDISATION SHEET X. 8060/7060. Returned herewith above std. sheet. You will note we estimate no difference in cost because the extra cost of the new tappets counterbalance the saving in dismantling cost necessary to quieten the old tappets. My/Rb.{R. Bowen} | ||
