| B.J. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3587 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG29.12.22. 20 HP. X.3587. BIJUR TYPE BENDIX DRIVE FOR STARTER MOTOR. We attach herewith copy of standardisation sheet in connection with the above. Now that EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} has returned from U.S.A. we have all the particulars we require. The S.S. is completely signed up except for yourself and CJ. We have waited nearly three weeks to obtain the cost but we feel that it is necessary for the Works to be instructed immediately because we have ample proof that the present Bendix being fitted will certainly give trouble.
