X.3790 RE "BUZZARD(Aero Engine)" CONNECTING RODS.

We return herewith original of LeC.1239. We have added the clearance banjo for the central rod, and a note in respect to this same rod reading as follows:-

"This central rod is similar to the central rod on LeC.1205 except that it is thicker at PP and has no oil pipe, and the small end is of more simple design."
