Scheme for preventing Valves dropping in the Cylinder. This is to confirm that you will detail LeC.3933 as soon as possible, and also detail a similar scheme for the 20/25. We will then work to your detail drawings to get the parts on our two cars at present running 10,000 miles. We have issued a Standardisation Sheet without ever having had detail drawings. We are therefore anxious to get the parts running with the minimum of delay. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
