| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X5840. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/km.7.5:34. 21-G-IV. When this car comes into the shop for final conversion to the Terraplane engine mounting we should like to make the following engine modifications:- (1) Semi-split pistons to be fitted. Matthews has a set of these which he has run in on the Test Bed.E.S.No4 (2) Eccentrically mounted dynamo pinion. The Piece No. is E.16752. The Works propose to standardise this and therefore we wish to get some running experience. Ha/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
