| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x260 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}18/KW.25.9.36. Main and Big End Bearings for Trials Car B-3-GA. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.24.9.36, Sales are crying for the trials car back. I have also come to the conclusion that we have not gone far enough with our experiments to put anything in this engine other than standard. Will you therefore please consider the instructions in the previous note cancelled, and rebuild the engine with standard shims. We can slip the connecting rods out and fit new shims as soon as we have really decided what we wish to standardise. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
