[underline]40/50 HP. Chassis Rear Springs.[/underline] Further to our note of a fortnight ago with reference to the adoption of the rolled eye at the rear end of the Mainplate instead of a solid eye. We shall be glad to learn when the spring with the rolled eye is likely to be standardized, as we are still continuing to obtain Springs with the solid eye at either end of the Mainplate, and we must continue to do so in order to keep production supplies moving.
