Re Lagging Clips on Exhaust Pipes. 40/50-HP. & 20/25-HP.
BY/Cgh.{W Clough}11/G.14.11.33.
We think By/Cgh.{W Clough} must have misread the correspondence relating to nickel plated Jubilee Clips as the price quoted by L.Robinson & Co., for supplying these clips, dull nickel finish as per our sample piece of material would be 7d. each, whereas the cost of making up a clip to our present R.R. design is 1/7d. per clip.
In view of the fact there are 6 off each on 40/50-HP. and 20/25-HP. chassis we think it worth while considering from a Standardisation standpoint.
