BY Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x4554 Sft.{Mr Swift}3/MW.1.2.35. Fine Boring of Cylinders. With reference to memo. E2/HP.1.1.35. and Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}9/T2.1.35. this is to inform you this job is now well in hand. We have had sample cylinder blocks bolted up with the crankcase and cylinder head in position, fine bored by the Daimler Co. and these have just been returned to us. In addition we have sent a similar set of parts to Archdale & Co. of Birmingham, and we are hoping these will be returned to us almost at once. As soon as we conclude our examination on both sets we will report to you again. Sft.{Mr Swift} [SIGNATURE] | ||
