Jacks - 20/25 HP. ----------------------------- Thank you for your memo. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}9/KW.17.1.34. The car to which the above Jacks are fitted has now completed the 10,000 miles test. We are issuing a Standardisation Sheet immediately to enable the fitting of these Jacks to commence on C.2 series. With reference to standardising the 2-speed handle on 20/25 HP., we do not think this necessary as the Jacks are geared higher, and the time taken to wind and unwind them to and from ground level is soon overcome without tiring the operator.
