We expect to fit the body completely mounted and finished, on J.3., sometime next week. We have run the second engine unit on the test bed. The performance is the same as the first. The engine gears, although not as good as the first unit, are good as erected. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5830. X5770. | ||
