'F' TYPE ENGINE NO. 113 - CAMSHAFTS.
-----------------------------------

With reference to the long duration camshafts which have been fitted to the above engine which are provided with cam forms in accordance with R's requirements, it is necessary to do a certain amount of experimenting in order to find the best timing, but since there is no time for this will you please arrange for the original long duration camshaft E22801 which were used on the previous type test to be fitted into the above engine when being assembled after the two hours endurance.
