Re: D.W.S. 2-Speed Jack Handle.
40/50.

We are in the near future putting a Standardisation Sheet through for the above.

There was some query as to the marking of "High" and "Low" Gears on the handle. We have however asked Messrs. Sessions to emboss these markings on the Gearbox; this they have agreed to do. We will also ask them to affix a strong tag with instructions on.

At the same time as these handles are standardised one or two modifications will take place on the Jacks, the main features being a quicker thread and generally better finish.
