re Peregrine Piston.

We send you herewith LeC.3138. Will you please instruct one set of pistons for the above engine for experiment.

This is in accordance with the experience and desire of the Experimental Department.

It will be noted the skirt portion is more flexible than formerly, and the thickness of the crown is less.
