EAGLE ENGINES.
RE AMERICAN MADE CRANKSHAFTS.

Will you kindly let me know, as requested verbally, whether it was 2 or 3 of the American shafts which were broken during the experimental running.

I am holding up a report to BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} until I hear from you on this subject.

BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}
