STANDARDISATION OF CHASSIS PARTS.
GROUND GEARS IN PLACE OF HELICAL, FOR
CONTINUOUS GEARS IN GEAR BOX.

Please receive herewith Std. Sheet X.4543, with costs filled in.

There are 500 sets of the old Gears going through the Works, which are in various stages of operations. We understand from the Works that they are all machined past the first operation, so therefore cannot be utilised to make the new Gear.

MY/JW.
