VISIT TO WW. X.1698 X.2993

Tuesday next the 19th. inst. will suit me very well for your visit.

I think Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ought to come also. We want to settle the following :-
(1) Final design of the blower.
(2) Height of various pistons - 8 to 1. 7 to 1 and 6 to 1 compressions.
(3) Improvements to joint at top of liner. (Is the rubber joint satisfactory?)
(4) Valve springs.
(5) Oil coolers.

Later. Understand Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is ill. R.{Sir Henry Royce}
