It is suggested that these be introduced thus providing a saving of 7d in material and 1/5d in labour, i.e. a total saving of 2/- per chassis. This will involve a Tool and Dye cost of £4. 0. 0d. which will be recovered after 40 chassis. Introduction of this piece can be effected at the 1st chassis in 'E' series without scrap. RHC{R. H.
