| γ 29-4. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. Bye 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. Rg.{Mr Rowledge} | ||
