Development Work. Attached is a resume of some preliminary work which we have been doing to investigate some of the troubles experienced with push rod operated valve mechanism as used on our car engines. We think that this type of work is going to be very useful in providing design data. When we get more room we shall be able to have one of these rigs running for each type of engine we manufacture. For the time being we have been content to show that we can get results. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
