Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.20.2.39. Cylinder bore wear being now our outstanding problem with regard to durability on car engine units, we are undertaking an intensive programme to find a means of overcoming the difficulty. The attached memo of C.T.S' shows the way in which we propose to allocate the types of cylinder liner to the cars that are available for test. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
