| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 13109 Rml/R.2.11.37. With reference to the Standardisation Sheets dealt with at the last Conference, the question was raised as to how much it would cost to introduce the engine flexible steel coupling and the rear brake intermediate shaft output lever in order to bring them in on the 1st chassis in 'D' Series. We understand that the figure for the coupling is £21 scrap, and the figure for the brake lever £7 scrap. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
