Lidsey}3/KT.20.11.33. C. to C/Rb.{R. Bowen} Re. 25 HP. MATERIAL. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}5/R.9.11.33. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}5/R.16.11.33. The present position of standardisation sheets for 25 HP. material is as follows. Standardisation sheets for the following have been issued :- (1) Baffles to prevent oil working along servo drive shaft - Costed and issued, not yet completely signed up. (2) Starter Motor with increased torque - Costed and issued, not yet completely signed up. (3) Ignition distributor contact finger - Waiting cost figures. (4) Fan - Costed and issued, not yet completely signed up. (5) Modified position of hand brake lever (preparatory to fitting controllable dampers) - Waiting cost figures. (6) Needle bearing propeller shaft joints - Costed and issued, not yet completely signed up. (7) Luvax chassis lubricating pump - Awaiting cost figures. (8) Change speed gear lever knob - Awaiting cost figures. (9) Balancing cam - Awaiting cost figures (issued for cost 2.11.33). It is intended that this should be used to overcome complaints on existing cars. Presumably a separate cost for the change over will be required as distinct from the cost of incorporating it on production cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
