to abandon tests on the aluminium alloy until such time as you can let us have a few sets in AC6 material. We will then build up another engine and see if we can obtain results comparable with those obtained from Ac6 in the big end bearings of our C.I. engine. Yours fixx faithfully, for DENNIS BROTHERS LIMITED (J.Milne) | ||
