Rg. {Mr Rowledge} 8/DM. {D. Munro} 10.7.33.

I should like to add to the agenda for our next conference the question of running in of lead-bronze bearings to be used with soft crankshafts.

We have evidence that our standard running in is unsuitable and that it will be necessary to make new arrange-ments to safeguard the production of the 1933 supercharged engines.
