| Rml/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 24th January, 1938. Y.C. Young, Esq., Chief Engineer, Wilcox-Rich, Division of Eaton Manufacturing Co., Mich: U.S.A. Dear Mr. Young, Thank you very much for your letter of December 28th, together with the information contained therein. I attach a note from our Aero Dept. answering your question on 'Brightray'. I should be very grateful if you could give me a layout showing the best method of adopting your hydraulic tappet with regard to oil feed on a side valve and on a push rod engine. The size in which we are interested is the one fitted to the Lincoln Zephyr. Yours sincerely, | ||
