| -2- BY.9/N.13.7.38 Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} --------------------- Will you please look into this and let us have your points of view regarding the reduced manufacturing costs, as against having to alter existing jigs etc. to suit the new parts, and also when it would be convenient to introduce them for production. A summary of the proposed alterations are: (1) New tappets with cup at top and flat base. (2) Push rods shortened. (3) Water jacket tubes in cylinder head moved slightly. (4) Holes for tappets in crankcase vertical instead of inclined. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
