| 1135 TO RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} KM/Std.1/JH.7.10.38. We are proposing to make and test a fan with a die cast fan hub and pulley to SCD.86/, with a view to standardisation on Wraith, B.111, B.90, B.60 etc. in order to reduce cost. Will you please let us know as soon as possible the cost saving per chassis and necessary tool cost which would result from standardising this fan hub. KM/Std. | ||
