STANDARDIZATION SHEETS. -------------------------- We have received two completed standardization sheets which necessitate us incorporating the following modifications to parts in production at the earliest possible moment:- a/- Carburetter made in aluminium instead of bronze, with the exception of the air valve, the material of which remains unaltered. b/- Induction pipes and bend made in aluminium instead of cast iron, with a reduced diameter of 1.75 as against 2". The above must be specified without question for C.2. Series. As to whether they can be brought in for B.2., I have written the Works to obtain their views on the subject, and will let you know later, but the part list for C.2. Series should be altered at once.
