| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SECRET. E1/M3.6.29. CHINA(Experimental Engine) CHASSIS. CONNECTING RODS. X5030 We find E55304 & 5. and LeC. 2703. are practically no different. The former has a little less clearance with the oil gallery pipe, but if the clearance is sufficient this does not matter. R. {Sir Henry Royce} would prefer the somewhat wider stem of LeC.2703., if it can be incorporated without delaying the work. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
