Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.13.2.39. CYLINDER BORE WEAR. Before we can make out a really satisfactory programme of what we are proposing to do with regard to cylinder bore wear, we should summarise all the information which is available in the Company on the subject. Although Kingsbury has been providing data on the Bentley very accurately, the information on the 25/30 does not seem to have reached the Experimental. We attach a list of queries which are the result of some thinking aloud on the subject, and propose to have a discussion the next time GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} is in Derby. Will all concerned please make a list of the points they propose to raise so that we can formulate a comprehensive programme. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
