| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1044 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ET.22.8.41. I was interested in the wear on Lp.{Mr Lappin}'s car. I presume it was running with lubricating holes in the connecting rods. If this is so, I should like it to continue running with the holes blocked up in cylinders 1, 3 and 5. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
