Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.4/GAB.7.3.44. 4 Cylinder 3¼ dia. Bore. RE.3028. Crankcase & Cylinder. Agreement was reached with Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, Mr. Pegg, and Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH, regarding the producing of the above crankcase. The pattern of RE.112 (3½ bore) will be used with a new body core box to produce the smaller barrels. A step will appear top and bottom on the outside diameter of the cylinder barrel but this was agreed to be acceptable for experimental purposes.
