Will you please circulate the enclosed memos.
Will you send Fred Arnold of Cadillacs a piece of the best R.R. tin aluminium bearing material that we know of up to date, 2.6 outside dia and 1/4" long. Check up with him that he agrees.
Will you also send R.F. Gagg of the Wright Aero Co. dope on how we rate our engines at altitude.
The R.R. here in Florida is suffering with acute miss firing. I still believe that with one coil firing 12 cyls our point wear is abnormally high & at the same time our distributors abnormally sensitive to gap
