| URGENT S/W Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y3806 C15/04.10.27 I shall be glad if you will please let me have your views on the question of central lubrication. We anticipate that at Olympia we shall certainly get any amount of enquiries as to whether we can supply central lubrication; and whether it can be put on to a chassis purchased now, later on. In order that we may consider what instructions we shall give to Salesmen and Retailers, I shall be glad if you will please inform me how far this scheme is forward. Is it a fairly simple matter which is likely to run through its course fairly easily, and in due course be standardised; and would it be suitable to add to our present production chassis at an extra cost? I presume you have no idea of what the cost is likely to be? If you can let me know by return it will help us with the Paris Exhibition, which opens next Thursday. C. | ||
