Re - Standardisation Sheet No.3587.
Bijur Type Bendix Drive for Starter Motor. for C II

In accordance with your 'phone enquiry of even date, we have taken a superficial glance over the two schemes and are of the opinion the new Drive will show an increase in Cost of approximately £2- 0- 0.

We will, in due course, go into the job in detail, but at present we are too full up with stock valuation.

Should this changeover be brought in forthwith, there would be a considerable amount of scrap.

My/JW.
