Test Rig. We are attaching herewith the following prints of camshafts in connection with the above project :- RE.2422 Camshaft RE.2423 Camshaft We understand from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} that you are in a position to produce an equivalent to Monikrom as originally suggested for this engine. Would you kindly inform me if this work can be carried out, in order that the necessary patterns may be produced, as we have already instructed these shafts in S/ZN, but would much prefer Monikrom.
