| γ 300a HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD{Frank Dodd - Bodies}2/R.21.1.38. 32-EX. Will you please have the broken cyl. liner removed from No. 6-cyl. B. side, and have a new liner fitted complete with rubber ring under top flange. It is not our intention to hold up this car for a complete strip. Will you, therefore, lower the sump and clean out the water. It would probably be as well to remove both cyl. heads and chalk test round the top flange of the other cylinders. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} will supply new cylinder gaskets. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
