Bailey - Chief Engineer} [struck through] 20HP. ETC PISTONS - G.4. ORIGINAL R4/M19.9.28. X5040 X5230 X741 X5050 Although we have no further interest in the cross web piston tried on the above car, one should not conclude that 4 pinned rings will not hold gastight. We are very anxious to hear of new head and exhaust for this. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
