| Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}: XS370. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/KT.4.10.33. With reference to the attached. Our standardisation sheet was issued for the deletion of the lubrication to the servo, which should have meant a reduction in cost. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} issued a modified scheme to reduce the amount of oil, and not to delete it entirely. We have since got him to agree to the deletion of the bijur lubrication to the servo entirely, and rely on hand lubrication. This should mean there must be a saving rather than an increase in cost.
