| 2. 17/1/36. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited. proposed/ change may give a piston which would determine some features about which you are anxious to obtain information, certainly the altered proportions might prejudice the performance of the piston itself. However, no doubt this is a matter which we could discuss if it was ultimately decided to proceed with the 3¾" bore engine. If you wish us to proceed with the preparation of the Foundry equipment, will you please make a point to advise us if you wish any alteration made to the distance between the bosses. Yours faithfully, FOR THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD., Martin V.{VIENNA} Kotsch MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
