B.V - SERVO. ----------- Will you please let us have the cost of Spring Plate GB.5114, as fitted to the B.V servo. Some time ago Les/Simpson informed us that the price was 10 1/2d. each, but the Stainless Spinnings Works say that they were supplied at 3/4d. It is possible that they were indeed supplied at 3/4d., but that we had received a quotation for a production cost of 10 1/2d. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/MHR.{M. H. Rigby} | ||
