| To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from AJS. X3829 AJS1/M17.2.26. RR. E.XVI. X.4114 X.3829 X.2308 We are endeavouring to reduce the weight of the propeller shaft, nose, and bearings, for the above engine, and should be glad if you would let us have by return the individual weights of the design that has been made, and which comes out at a total weight of 42 lbs. so as to enable us to make comparisons with the new design we are getting out.
