The actual rod lenghts are given in the following table :

| STROKE | CON. ROD. | ENGINE | RATIO. |
|--------|-----------|---------------|--------|
| 4.5 | 7.95 | Standard 25. | 1.77 |
| 4.5 | 8.45 | LeC. 2756. | 1.88 |
| 5 | 10 | Improved 25. | 2. |

LeC. 2756. is an intermediate scheme which was instructed having larger crankpins and grooved bottom half crankcase.

"The rods we should like to try on an existing engine would be 9" long, and hence 1.05" packing would be required under the cylinder block.
