| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EH. c. to Bm. EH1/LG21.6.19. X.3400 - FOR ALUMINIUM PISTONS FOR 40/50 CHASSIS The pistons which have been run on the first production chassis, shew that they have been bearing hard locally round the gudgeon pin hole. We think this is most probably due to a slight burr being made when driving in the gudgeon pins. We recommend that the pistons should be cleared away for 1/8" all round the gudgeon pin.hole. EH.
