E3/G23/2/20. 3 [STAMP: 24 FEB 1920] In reply to your memo DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}15/EF18/2/20, will you kindly note that Mr. Royce approves of this piston as shewn on your drawing N.359. He thinks it should, however, be altered in respect to the width of the longitudinal saw-cut. You will recollect that it was agreed that this particular cut can be a narrow one.
