Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/BA.5.1.40. Camshafts. Herewith a report on Camshafts. We want road tests to confirm, or otherwise, the slow-running results obtained on the test bed. We shall be suspicious of any result that does not make the result follow negative overlap. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} should be responsible for the tests with Swinton holding a watching brief on carburation. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
