| COPY. RE WEIGHTS OF PISTONS AND CONNECTING RODS. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} o.PHD. c.Her. E6/T. 26. 5. 14. With reference to Mr. Royce's note R18/P 18.5.14 in which he speaks of the weights of pistons and connecting rods and their variations, I am asking Mr Dalley to send a list of the various reciprocating parts, experimental and otherwise, of which we have not the weights, and ask you if you will kindly supply the information he desire for each part. In the case of the connecting rods we should like not only the total weight of the rods but the weights of the small ends and big end separately. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
