| -2- HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/KW.16.3.35. You will note that the drawing E.86632 has a skirt 1/4" longer than E.84546. At the present moment we are favouring the piston with the longer skirt: presumably you will be able to arrange your tools so that either can be made. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
