| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} G.c to BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [text struck through] ORIGINAL re. FELT GLANDS ON VALVE GEAR. E2/M23.4.27. X8060 / X986 We should like to know if you consider it possible to do without the felt glands at present used on car engines valves, as if so, it will enable us to adopt double valve springs.
