S.W.1. For the attention of Mr.Brooks. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 22nd inst. I think we will postpone the test of the reduced clearances until we have run the existing pistons. If we run into cold knocks under ordinary working conditions we can then try an increase in the working diameter. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
