| W/Lillie Hall - Mr. Hancock. X 300 a Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KW.6.10.36. Many thanks for your various reports. I expect you have a good deal of information one way or another, and suggest that you come to the Works on Monday to talk it over. Any more cylinder bore wear figures you can give us will be very useful. We are getting out a chart which shows clearly the rate of cylinder bore wear per thousand miles for various combinations of pistons, cylinder wall lubrication, etc. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
