To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to CE. " EFC. D RECEIVED 1 SEP 1919 R1/G29/8/19. RE EXTRA LUBRICATION. X.343Y X.2/48 I propose testing 1 EX. with the extra lubricating oil always on. I shall be glad if you will make a similar test on another car, and see whether it is possible to permit cylinders to have more oil during the conditions of light load, when the piston knocks are most noticeable.
