Bentley.

I have investigated the trouble of excessive oil consumption and overoiling which Kingsbury experienced after fitting oversize cylinders and pistons. It has been cured, I propose slipping up to Derby Monday morning and go over some interesting data I have collected, It willbe more convincing than writing.
