(c.for Mcr) EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}15/W14115. With reference to yours EL/G24714, a set of these washers was handed to us by the Exp. Dept. on the 29th December, and we have run these on an engine, such that we were able to dismantle same three times and yet use the washers effectively. They are reported as having given every satisfaction, and I do not see any reason why these should not be used in preference to the rubber insertion. EP.{G.
