| LES.{Ivan A. Leslie} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 119 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/JS.{Mr Johnson's Secretary}27.4.40. CONNECTING RODS. With reference to LES.11/B/24.4.40, I suggest we go ahead and produce dies for forging size B.40 connecting rods. If they are unsatisfactory it is a simple matter to revert to our former practice of machining off the surface. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
