| C O P Y. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} STANDARDISATION OF CHASSIS PARTS. GROUND GEARS IN PLACE OF HELICAL, FOR CONTINUOUS GEARS IN GEARBOX. Please receive herewith Std. Sheet X.4543, with costs filled in. X There are 500 sets of old Gears going through the Works, which are in various stages of operations. We understand from the Works that they are all machined past the first operation, so therefore cannot be utilised to make the new Gear. MY/JW. | ||
