| 169 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/JH.11.1.40. I want to know what you consider to be a production limit for the timing to vary betweem cylinders and whether you think the Delco or Lucas are as good as the R.R. in this respect. How and why did the spindle get bent on 4.B.50? Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
