| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BJ. X4616 BJ/Py1/D30.4.26. Re: American Standardisation Sheet No. 25. We had some correspondence early last year regarding American proposal to thicken up the gudgeon pin by reducing the bore from .750 to .625. You informed us at the time that you were carrying out certain experiments in this direction. We are still holding the Standardisation Sheet here. Will you please let us know what the present position is? BJ/Py. | ||
