| x 7962 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}17/KW.5.7.34. E.R. Hall's Unit B-11. In order to get this unit finished with a minimum of delay we are proposing to hand a set of pistons over to you on Tuesday next when they arrive from the Aerolite Piston people, and ask you to complete the engine. We will then give it a proof run on the test bed, hand it over to you for stripping examination and re-erection, run it on the test bed again to check the power, and it can then be put in the chassis. While it is being put in the chassis we shall have an opportunity of running an endurance to check the life of the parts fitted on B-4 unit.
