| S.S. 33e (100 T) (S.H. 79a. 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2948 x2748 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. U.S.A. Dept. x2748 x3666 CHASSIS - PISTONS. X4190 STAMP: RECEIVED 25 APR 1921 BY20-P 25.4.21. We received a memo OYLO-G24321, which we attach herewith, as it appears to us to be a matter which the Experimental Department would be more directly interested in than we ourselves. There is one point, however, which we propose to give attention to, namely, increasing the clearance round the locking screw for the Gudgeon Pin, which does not fit the Piston, but is a clearance. With this exception I think the whole of the memo is more directly connected with the Experimental Dept than anybody else, and although addressed to the Works Committee, one feels that it is not a matter for them to deal with in its present state.
