| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} +8050 E1/M16.8.27. RE. BLUE SPORTS CHASSIS. X.8774 X.8050 X.8040 We thank you for blueprints received in response to our request for detail drgs. of the cyl. head and piston in use on the above chassis. These prints however appear to shew the first type of head instructed, whereas we understood the combustion space shape had been modified to comply with out drg. LeC.2230. which has a double lift head, and that the piston had in accordance with our recommendation been made flat-topped, and brought level with the top of the cyl. block. If these modifications are in use we should be glad to have prints of the detail drgs. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
