| 261 ss{S. Smith} S/W Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} C10/C29.11.38 Mr.Raymond Mays writes in regard to his new car, asking if he can have the brake drums and lay-out as you fitted up for him on his present car No. B-144-LS (and his previous car I believe). He also writes as follows:- "Concerning the engine fitted to the new chassis on order, on my present car you kindly arranged to fit a slightly higher compression ratio than standard. As this engine has behaved extremely well I should particularly like you to arrange for the same on the new engine. Should there be any other slight modifications coming through your experimental in connection with engines which you would care for me to try out, I should be only too pleased to do so, and as you know, would be pleased to let you have full reports." Will you please let me know what you wish to arrange in regard to these items. The number of the new chassis allotted is B-156-MR. C. | ||
