| MOTION III STANDARDISATION OF PARTS Estimated cost of new tools ...... £19. 0. 0. Could be brought on to production at the 1st. Chassis in "E" Series (without scrap.) By altering Manufacturing Methods of pieces the Tool Cost has been reduced from £19. to £8. This outlay will be recovered after producing 40 chassis due to reduction in Factory Cost of 3/10d. per chassis and therefore recommend that this modification is standardised. RHC.{R. H.
