| X1113 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Cricklewood, Sept. 18th, 1936. 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. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
