| - 2 - E.5/HP.2.8.33. ------------- We are also trying alternative schemes of piston construction. This gudgeon pin development is required for the SpectreCodename for Phantom III and all six cylinder engines where the cylinder block is made in one with the crankcase and fewer bearings than seven used. There are other aspects also of this problem and we feel that there should be some general discussion and agreement on the subject. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
