HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}5/MH.{M. Huckerby}8.12.38. CYLINDER BORE WEAR. (CHASSIS ENGINE). Further to our memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.11.38. The special inserts are now available for pressing into the four blocks mentioned. Attached is the drawing supplied, which shows dimensions for machining the blocks before pressing in the liners. When this has been done, the blocks should then be finished in the usual way; grinding etc. to our own drawings. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
