I propose now instructing them to proceed with material for a further 100 sets, and possibly poundages for the second 50 sets similar to the first 50, but on this point should like confirmation that we are all in accord. The poundages we have specified to date for the first 50 sets are as follows: 25 sets ... Fronts.... 650 lbs. FB-19 Rears..... 825 lbs. FB-27 25 sets ... Fronts.... 675 lbs. FB-19 Rears..... 875 lbs.
