| ORIGINAL: No1 ATW HO/52 - 1EX HAS RUN 50 MILES EH12/LG7.6.19. To EN. from EH. X.8400D 7th. June 1919. With reference to attached, the Short Connecting Rods on 49-CB have now run 4350 miles. We have another set of these rods fitted to chassis I.E.X. This chassis so far has only run 50 miles. We anticipate it will be 2 weeks before we have a car engine fitted to a test bench. EH. | ||
