| X. 2748. To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CJ. " " EFC. R1/G29/8/19. X. 2748. X. 3437. RE EXTRA LUBRICATION. I propose testing 1 EX. with the extra cylinder lubricating oil always on. I shall be glad if you will make a similar test on another car, and see whether it is possible to permit cylinders to have more oil during the conditions of light load, when the piston knocks are most noticeable.
