(Sheet 2)

Personally I think these are minimum figures and will on the average be exceeded.

We do however feel that the improved starting from cold makes some sacrifice worth while, and as mentioned in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/JH.22.4.36, the cost of replacement with the thin plate type is very considerably reduced.
