X5770. RECEIVED 1 JUL 8 We send you herewith a blueprint of LeC. 2926., shewing the first drawing completed in connection with the revised J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. This drawing shews the general scheme of the engine in which an austenitic cast liner is used in conjunction with a monobloc aluminium cylinder and crankcase casting. Alternatively this can all be made in ordinary cast iron if it is deemed at any time desirable.
