| +1729 To Wcr. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} re Cadillac Strip. E.5/HP.8.4.35. I notice from the report on the Cadillac strip - RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}7/MS.5.4.35, that the cylinder wear is larger than we normally experience, being 5½ thousandths at the crown for 20,000 miles, where our average wear is only 3 thousandths. I am having the other figures compared with RR. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
