Lightened 28 Gallon Petrol Tank - 40/50 HP.
Standardisation Sheet - X.7460.
----------------

We return herewith the above standardisation sheet. It should be noted that the figures we give are a comparison between the Heavy Gauge 28 gallon tank now being fitted and the proposed lightened 28 gallon tank.

The former when compared with the 18 gallon tank is dearer by £3.14.5d.

The proposed lightened tank in comparison with the 18 gallon tank is 3/7 cheaper.
