With further reference to this matter, this is to confirm my consultation with you re. the above, to the effect that I think the spanner I handed to you is an improvement on the one which is now being proposed for standardisation, which I am now not so pleased with as I was at first. The sample I handed to you is of & course, only a roughly made type/one which could be improved as regards light- ness, etc. This new spanner has been brought to my attention by the engine gear quietener working in the Test Dept. I should be glad, therefore, if you could put this matter forward again to be considered for standardisation in preference to the one referred to. EP.{G.
