To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.1.40.
Regarding your Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/25.1.40 we cannot see why we cannot fit rev counters to all existing engines by building up a boss on the crankcase.
What we therefore want are detail drawings of 6 and 8-cylinder camshafts having rev counter drives on them.
Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
