I enclose the G.M. pamphlet on knee action, in which you will see both Olley and Briggs are mentioned. The cover is reproduced from fragments in Olley's Notebook.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rs{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary};

Nutt likes the crankcase design of the water cooled Pacard. Thinks it is simpler than ours and as good. The cyl. studs go through to the bearing caps which are divided on the angle. I will try and get one of these books, but believe that they are now out of print.
