| LID{A. J. Lidsey} T3117 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}6/MG17.11.33 Messrs. Donald Sessions advise that incorporation of the special 2-speed handle used with D.W.S.Permanent Jacks as fitted to our 40/50 HP. Chassis, will increase the cost some 7/6d per set. This handle, you will recollect, was designed to overcome the somewhat slow operation of the Jacks when unwinding them from the car to the ground before the actual lift takes place. If it is agreed to standardise such a Jack, will you kindly issue the necessary Sheet. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
