I have consulted Mr Royce with reference to a test of the batches of valve springs we receive from outside and find that Mr Royce does not approve of making a camshaft with any more lift than we use at present but considers that we can make quite a good destruction test by running our existing valve testing rig at a higher speed. Would Mr Wormald kindly proceed along these lines. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} AE. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
