We have today weighed the first of the above and find that this is approximately 1 cwt heavier than previous 20/25 HP Chassis. No doubt this can readily be accounted for by the modified parts, but we are sure that when we send our quarterly report through of chassis weights, that this will be queried, and we shall be asked to show how the increased weight is made up. We will let you know how the weights of the next few of this type of chassis come out. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. | ||
