We should be glad if you will let us have an experimental report on the corrugated sheet metal gaskets that have been used in several cases on the experimental Bentley engines. It is proposed to use these on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III if they are satisfactory; if they are not, it will be necessary to modify the SpectreCodename for Phantom III pistons to suit copper and asbestos gaskets.
