RE CHASSIS PISTON.

Further to our memo in which we reduce the dimension from the centre line of the gudgeon pin to the top of the piston and altered the core box to suit, will you please instruct that 100 sets of castings should be made as per this alteration. The piston can be machined but the grinding should be held up until we hear definitely from the Experimental Department what the grinding sizes should be.
