| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X236 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW.14.12.34. Aerolite Pistons for Standardisation. The Aerolite Piston Co. are just about to send bulk supplies to the Works. Since we ran our tests in France they have made one or two slight modifications to the pistons and we are anxious to get a proof run before we let them issue quantities to the Works. A set of pistons has just come into the Stores and we should be glad if you would fit them, together with a new block, to B-6 engine so that we can run the test as soon as possible.
