IN MILD STEEL I have not heard yet whether you have done any running with the mild steel connecting rods, with the object of proving whether the breakages in the rod was due to material or to flaws. I should like to know if you have done any running, and if not, when you consider you will be able to deal with the matter? BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
