| STANDARDISATION OF CHASSIS PARTS. Description of Part: TO INDUCE MR. H.J. ROWLEDGE TO ADAPT THE FAMOUS OILITE BUSHES Origin: To improve road chassis in all speeds. Experimental Test Report: These notes are a part of these notes have a run of 7,000 miles on K-XI with excellent results. Road Test Report: The result is a double success, not only just better lubrication or extreme quietness. Weight of Old Part: Weight of Oilite on chassis first. Cost of Old Parts in which will be scrapped is: 2 Difference per Car: Date when chassis to be introduced: 2 Saving per Car: Cost of parts to be introduced: 2 Cost of Jigs and Tools. but I do not like the rates noted.
