| 319. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/R.27.11.36. CYLINDER LINERS. As I mentioned to you verbally, the cost of the P.III cylinder liner was not due to the material of which it was made. The attached memos indicate that the rough casting is not very expensive, and in view of this fact we are concentrating on finding material which gives the best life.
