5.6.39.

We have an old 25/30 engine (originally in Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 's car) now at Shardlow. This is our most obsolete engine that is in reasonable condition and is not likely ever to be wanted. It is one of the old 20/25 mocked up with 3.5 bore block. Would give between 50 and 60 H.P. at 1500 R.P.M. but it would be necessary for them to fix up a governor.
