Mr. Royce would like this car fitted with connecting rods having loose big end bushes. We have received a blueprint of a design which was made at WW for these rods. LEC-2196 which on the whole is satisfactory but we have one or two modifications to make before the rod is considered O.K. Before these modifications we expect to post on Monday next!
