To GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} at Kingsbury.

Particulars of Cylinder Wear.

Thanks for the return shewing the above.
We note with interest two cars in particular that have had re-bore i.e. B.74.DG. at 83,533 and B.167.BL. at 76,608.

Are these the first re-bores, and if not, what mileage has been done since the previous one?

If an engine has had a previous re-bore will you please indicate this on your chart in future.

BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}
