| To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. to BJ X. 3199 R13/W15.1.18. X. 3000 [strikethrough]Parts List[/strikethrough] Re - 100 Hour Test - "Eagle". X. 3173 ✓ X 3199 ✓ Regarding the battery ignition a special effort should be made to fit this as it will be interesting to see how the engine behaves with it. All the parts need not necessarily be the final ones but if we could test such things as the distributor and contact maker, the rest we could test for a long period away from the engine. Regarding the connecting rod on your list does not seem to include the new form of articulated rod pin. | ||
