| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EH c. to CJ. EH1/LG28.1.19. 28th Jan. 1919. X.3500 - RE DELAGE CAR+ We have dismantled the cylinders on the "Delage" car and find that one of the big end bearings has run and several of the others are in very bad condition. The piston rings are very black in the groove; we shall have to fit new rings before we can expect the engine to run. We are rather disappointed with the car; it looks a nasty heavy brute for a 15.9 H.P. EH. | ||
