| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/Rb.{R. Bowen} Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}/Rb.{R. Bowen}13/N/139A/BJ.5.10.23. Standardisation of Chassis Parts Sheet X.No.8030/7030. Solid Key Type Bottom Tappet. Returned herewith above standardisation 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.
