This is to confirm our conversation that we will get ½ doz. forgings out of the dies which have been made for the B.V. conn. rods and if, on examination, these prove to be satisfactory, we will then re-sink the dies for the 4-cylinder 75 mm. bore rods. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} is handing you a drawing of the B.40 rod. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
