Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.18/KW.5.9.34.

Now that we have more experience of hydraulic tappets we are anxious to resume tests with the E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 82448 camshaft. It may be remembered that there were considerable errors in the forms of the 4th and 6th exhaust cams on this shaft. Will you therefore please make for us a camshaft with new forms for these two cams.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.LL. Smith.
