Part
2b
Supersession
While a component was being supplied to a manufacturer it was
usually cheap to
make. However the cost of supporting it after no manufacturer
used it was not.
There could be too many minor component variations to make
this cost
effective. Lucas would make a universal component that was designed
to replace
many of the different variations of the model they had produced.
This
universal component superseded - replaced - them. In some cases the
universal
component incorporated many of the same parts that the originals
did. 
Supersession also occurred when a component proved troublesome. It could
be
replaced by manufacturing changes or new parts.

I
hope this answers your question Greg.  If it is a Healey Hundred you are
interested in, you can access the  Austin Equipment & Spare Parts catalogue
for 1955 at Larry Varley's website here:
http://www.acmefluid.com.au/larry/lucasaustin55.pdf   But be aware, it is
almost 39MB.

how to
use them? >>
