ROLLS-ROYCE F.11 ENGINE

We are sending you herewith print of DES.669, showing the proposed scheme for checking the timing of the F.11 engine when fitted in an aeroplane.

When the engine is out of the machine, and for shop adjustments, it is best to use a timing disc from the rear end of the engine, but we think the scheme suggested will be useful for running adjustments.

Will you please say whether you wish this scheme to proceed further.

Rg.{Mr Rowledge}

Enc. Print, DES.669.
