| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X. 8040 S E C R E T. EB/M29.4.25. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A. {Mr Adams} C. PISTON. In case it is required to use the existing conical top piston with the lower scraper ring we send you herewith LeC.2053. If you have a spare pattern available of a conical top piston it might be as well to put this alteration in hand as it may provide a means of obtaining a quicker test of the lower scraper ring than waiting for the new pattern with concave top.
