| F.S. 159 (150 T) (S.H. 89, 22-7-20) G 2769 To Ba. [crossed out] c. to EPC. c. to RMC. STAMP: NOV 18 X.3630 BY/Shn4/ML16.11.20. X.3630 RE 40/50DE CHASSIS - MAGNETO WITH SLOPING BASE. When the Magneto with the sloping base is fitted it is possible, as shown on arrangement drawing N.3031 for the Tappet Lever Bracket Facing No. 3 Cylinder adjacent to the Magneto, to be brought up to the same level as those of the other cylinders, and so simplify production and cancel the special fittings required for this particular facing. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is quite agreeable to the change being made, but we would like to know your opinion as to whether it should be embodied in a further standardisation sheet or go through as understood from the existing sheet.
