Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to F. {Mr Friese} X 3754 chassis EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 3/F2.1.20. RE. CAST IRON PISTONS. With reference to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG31.12.19, I trust it is realised that in pointing out that E.4237 pistons have been the most successful, this has only been achieved by leaving out the stiffening plate No. E.3028.
