X. 2163 [STAMP] RECEIVED 10 SEP 1917 Re - Testing Engines on Coal Gas. R9/W7917. I am directed by Mr. Royce to ask you to arrange to run engines in on coal gas for production work. The full horse power will not be obtained which is an advantage and this arrangement further will give temperature and stress effects which approximate to working conditions.
