| HAMPTON III STANDARDISATION of PARTS Estimated cost of new tools £12.10.0d. Could be brought on to production at the 51st. chassis in "D" series (without scrap). The Clips F.89582/3/4 differ only slightly from the existing and 3/-EX was fitted with the old standard clips for 10,000 miles test therefore it is recommended that clips F.88312 and F.88804 should be retained and left unaltered. The Standardisation sheet Tool cost of £12.10.0d. will thus be eliminated (See RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}1/LS.6.9.37, addressed to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} & Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}). RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
