| S/W. X4038 Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}8/M/10.5.29. Standardisation Sheets. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has recently signed Standardisation Sheets for the 40/50 HP. and 20 HP. in respect of the Hobson Gauge, and on the back of that for the 40/50 HP. it said this would come into supply with 'H' Series chassis - and that the gauge on the 20 HP. would commence with 'O' Series. Is it not a fact, however, that in respect of the 40/50 HP. this gauge will commence with J.2. Series - i.e. "SS{S. Smith}" - and with the 51st in 'O' Series on the 20 HP? If so, can you please explain the origin of the errors to which Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} refers? Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} [Signature] | ||
