| 1104. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 11th December, 1937. W. Lyons, Esq., S.S. Cars Ltd., Holbrook Lane, COVENTRY. Dear Mr. Lyons, I have been looking through some of the information on firing after switching off. If you have a scrap cylinder head casting which you could let me have, I would like to examine it and I might possibly give you some assistance in the matter. Can you tell me what your 3 1/2-litre crank-shaft weighs before you start machining it? Yours sincerely, | ||
