Confirming our conversation with you, as the last lot of Aerolite Pistons in RR.53 were such poor castings, we asked Mr. Brookes to let us have the core box and die to see if we could not get better results. These have now arrived and we should be glad if you would obtain 2 dozen castings and send them to The Light Production Co. for machining. This matter is somewhat urgent as we have not a satisfactory set of pistons as yet for the competition engine. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
