(1) Cylinder heads to EB.3437 and EXS.1060. Pistons to EXS.1061. Push Rod to EXS.1062. Instructed By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design}16/G.5.10.38. (2) Farnborough adaptor pieces SCT.100 instructed Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}8/JH.20.2.39. (3) Farnborough indicator valves to M.Sch.114 LOP. M.335. Instructed Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}8/JH.20.2.39. (4) Modifications to valve gear instructed By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design}2/AW. 15.2.39. (5) 1.600" dia. inlet valves and seats for the two new heads in item (1), instructed By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design}1/AW.21.2.39. (6) Thermo-couple tubes to SCT.101, sketch handed to WH.
