| V107. To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c.c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KT.21.9.32. PEREGRINE CAMSHAFTS. Further to our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}1/KT.20.9.32. We send you herewith comparisons of the standard camshaft toe, and the actual toe we ran on our experimental camshafts. This may be of interest to you in explaining why we had noise difficulties, and why we cannot rely on the temporary method of removing the toe for final results.
