Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} c. to BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Y5230 R4/M9.9.28. 20 HP. ETC. PISTONS. G.4. X.5040 X.5230 X.741 X.5050 Although we have no further interest in the cross web pistons tried on the above car, one should not conclude that 4 pinned rings will not hold gas-tight. We are anxious to hear of new heawd and exhaust for this. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
