| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X777°. Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}10/T12.7.29 "SS{S. Smith}" CHASSIS Can you let us have the following information please, we cannot get it from the D.O. as we understand that one of the points i.e. Ignition Timing has not been definitely settled. (1) Ignition Timing. The engine and chassis we are handling are not marked on the flywheel, and it will be a rather difficult job to do this on engines that are already erected. (2) Combustion chamber capacity. Mr | ||
