We now want to make Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car representative of the present big bore 20/25 production. His own unit - E3M - will be suitable for test bed purposes and we do not think it is worth pulling it to pieces to extract the crankshaft, etc., which might be used again. We should like to obtain a complete up to date engine unit off production to fit in the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
