| X4261 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. BJ5/H8.1.23. Standardisation Sheets. ______________________ [STAMP: RECEIVED] Please let me know if standardisation of any part is delayed owing to your standardisation sheets not being returned to you marked 'Agreed' promptly by C.J. or myself, as we are anxious to prevent any possibility of delay in this office. I understand from the attached Standardisation Sheet, which I have initialled, that these fixed bushes have never been tried on the Goshawk. I presume immediate experiments will be made, as I presume what is satisfactory on one design of car will not necessarily prove equally satisfactory on another; as I gather the matter is of great urgency, however, I have initialled the sheet.
