Dear Gry{Shadwell Grylls}, Adverting to our conversation at the Motor Show wherein you said you would be willing to test forged magnesium pistons if we had them available, maybe you would like to send us some drawings, when I think I should be able to persuade our people to make the dies and make some experimental forgings. In this case, will you machine them yourselves, or should we arrange for Aerolites to do so? All the best. Tom | ||
