| (2) WW. work at the missing parts. Many parts, such as the crankshaft, con. rods, pistons, valves, cylinders, etc, could be ordered. (10) You will remember that 9 weeks produced the Silver Rogue engine, which had new cyl. block, crankchamber, etc, and was a success, but for the one oversight of pinning the pistons in the wrong place. We are now in a superior position in proportion to the difference in the complication of the work. R.{Sir Henry Royce} [Stamp] RECEIVED 29 SEP 1937 H8 CS | ||
