| S/W Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}..from Lp.{Mr Lappin} 261. Lp.{Mr Lappin}2/25.6.38 As you know, Staniland's car had to be brought into Kingsbury yesterday for lack of compression in two cylinders. It is understood the experimental head which was removed has been returned to you, and the car has now been fitted with a standard head. Perhaps you will let me know if it is intended to send this back for replacement, as possibly he will now grumble about the loss of performance with the standard head. Lp.{Mr Lappin} | ||
