To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KT.25.5.33. PEREGRINE NO.5 UNIT. Further to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/KT.23.5.33. with reference to this unit, which we want to have in 5.Per.II chassis. Will you please arrange to fit piston rings to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}945 and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}949 instructed in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/KT.8.3.33. to this unit before it goes in the car. We think it is worth producing two or three sets of these rings as we have had satisfactory results on the two units which have already been fitted.
