| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed{J. L. Edwards}1/R.13.4.37. Valve Gear Rig. This rig is to go on No. 2c. bed when ready, and as - according to HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/JR.{Mr James Royce}1/WPC.31.3.37 - the parts to Leo. 5402, 5445, 5465 are now ready, we should like them fitted up. A Bentley T.H. and B.H. crankcase with camshaft and distributor gears and drives, the lower half of the distributor and a wheel case cover are accordingly being allocated to the job, the Millwrights are to be urged to supply the necessary bits to enable the contact breaker assembly and indicator to be rigged up ready for fitting on the bed. A Bentley contact breaker cam is to hand for re-moving the five profiles when required, and a P.III crank-case will follow later for similar rigging up. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J.
