PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) CYLINDER HEADS.

We are getting somewhat involved with the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) Cylinder Heads owing to the various compression ratios, valve sizes and turbulent and non-turbulent types.

It would be of great assistance to us if you could fix a plate to each head giving the capacity in C.C's turbulent or non-turbulent type, large or small dia. valve.

If in addition each head had a number we could keep track of the various modifications made to it.
