Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} re Peregrine Oil Consumption. ------------------------- We are anxious to know as soon as possible if the oil consumption of the Peregrine engine is satisfactory up to 5000 r.p.m. Now is the time to make any alterations to the crankchamber which might be required for correcting excessive oil consumption so often encountered at high speed.
