40/50 HP. Axle Springs

Can you now give us a report, please, on the sample Rolled Eye 40/50 HP. Axle Springs:

Front - Piece No. 85191
Rear - Piece No. 85180

sent to the Experimental Shop last July for observation (Order No.47808 dated 27.5.33).

If you are not in a position to report, can you give some approximate idea of when a report will be available, so that we can balance our stocks accordingly.

You will recollect we have already standardised the Rolled Eye on the 20/25 HP. Chassis, and effected considerable economy thereby, and one is naturally anxious to do likewise on the 40/50 HP. - provided your tests prove satisfactory.

On the 40/50 HP. Chassis the standardisation would represent at least £2.18.0d saving per Chassis, or, based on our present output, some £500-600 per year
