| Re.) FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ) C. to SC. BY F R1/W.7.7.32. x3866 PRESENT TYPE AERO ENGINES. CYLINDER CONSTRUCTION. My impression is that the present type construction could be much improved with the extra bolt - i.e. 6 bolt arrangement, as used in the Buzzard. I have asked HU. to have this made and tested. The object, and result, should be a more reliable top joint, and less distortion of the liner. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
