Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} 2/KT. 27.10.32. SELF ADJUSTING TAPPETS J.III. We attach a report on these tappets, which shows that they require somewhat delicate handling, but when they are sufficiently accurately manufactured they appear to give satisfactory results. We are handing you herewith the defective plungers and valves and should be glad if you would try to overcome the trouble and let us have them back for test as soon as possible.
