| X/506 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LGG.2.28. RE. PISTON. X.4588 V1506 We endeavoured to get OY. to check the amazing weights of the Pierce Arrow reciprocating parts, he replied as per attached letter. Although we know you are far from enthusiastic about duralumin conn. rods, we thought it might interest you. Perhaps you have some information about the strut piston design he mentions.
