Further to your query of the other day the last chassis to be turned out with chilled bores was No.U.4.VR.{E. S. Voller - Orders} on 25.12.37. We can follow this up by checking the difference which shows up on bore wear on each side of that chassis number. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
