Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}15/MH.{M. Huckerby}5.7.38. Tin-Coated Pistons. We have now completed the tests on pistons tin-coated in the works, and examination shows the tin coating to be quite as good as that of the Light Production Co. who are tin coating the Aerolite pistons. It is therefore quite O.K. to go ahead with the tin-coating of our own production pistons. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews} | ||
