Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} /SB {Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} 10/HR.6.7.36. With reference to your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 10/KW. 4.7.36., enclosing copy of report from GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} concerning the question of re-boring Bentley cylinders, we would point out that the limit of .005" was fixed before we had a great deal of experience and it was quite understood that we might have to extend this limit later on. As things are now we see no reason why the matter should not be left to the discretion of K. {Mr Kilner} since individual cases may warrant extending the limit to as much as .007" to .008" if there is no complaint of over-oiling.
