SMG.JT.30/894 Mr. P.A. Lloyd Wright 8.5.30 6 weeks 10 weeks F.O.P.D H.G. Howes Esq. - Mr. W.J. O.{Mr Oldham} Scott W.I.B. - Mr. P.L. As you know, the camshaft, cam rockers and rollers have been found to be subject to pitting and it will be necessary even with the new material to subject them to a very rigid inspection of the surface. How much you will agree to this I do not know and it might be the cause of future trouble. The information on this subject is not too good. FW/JWH. | ||
