Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG1.2.28. With reference to the car pistons to be made in Halls alloy. We would like to try a set of both the 20 HP. and 40/50 pistons die-cast in this material. At the moment we have more facilities for testing 20 HP. pistons, we shall therefore be able to get some results on these first.
