This one was up a few weeks back, at the time I said I would put up a list
using a contemporary magazine announcing the launch of the Herald, sorry I
took so long Andy !. By the way I also picked up a nice little item at a
local show over the weekend. It is a Triumph Work Schedule. The format is a
small ring binder with tabbed sections inside for a range of models of the
period, i.e Herald, Vitesse, Spitfire, 1300 FWD, TR4A. Within each section
is a list of operations from checking the points to a full body re-spray.
Each task is given a time in hours and minutes. The work is sub divided
into the usual areas, mechanical, electrical, bodywork, etc.. Aybody seen
one of these before?
