1123 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.24.2.39. CYLINDER BORE WEAR. Can we hand 24 G.VI over for a transport car as we want to get figures for cylinder bore wear on it under short journey conditions? If you have to get another cheap transport car would you consider a 25 H.P. Vauxhall, we want to get a true figure for their cylinder bore wear. If it is as Taub says we don't need liners.
