X.3457 IMPROVED TYPE OD SPLIT PISTONS. * We recommend that in the machining of these pistons they should be located so that we always get a correct thickness on the split side of the piston. If there is any error in the casting, if the casting is thick or thin, we would prefer it to be on the side which is not split. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
