| EY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X2748 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG3.1.22. 40/50 CHASSIS PISTONS. V3400 X2748 Several months ago die-cast 40/50 pistons were made and it was agreed that they should be adopted as standard. We find, however, that no die-cast pistons are being used. We consider that the die-cast pistons are better than the pistons we are using and for experimental cars we are insisting on them being fitted. We should like to know if there is any reason why these pistons could not be used. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
