| - 2 - desired result can be brought about by retaining this at its full dimension, but by introducing a change of form coupled, at the same time, with less drastic oil control. We have made alterations to the casting equipment to enable us to achieve a certain saving in weight, and hope that in the final condition, we shall approximate very closely to the desired figure. In conclusion, we should like to express our thanks for the courtesy extended to the writer on the occasion of his visit to you on Tuesday last, and also our appreciation of the interest shown in the results produced by the pistons. Yours faithfully, pp THE LIGHT PRODUCTION CO. LTD. A.R. Brooks GENERAL MANAGER. | ||
