For the attention of Mr. Brookes. Dear Sirs, We are going to run some Aerolite Pistons at high speeds and want to keep the oil consumption down a bit. To do this we may require rather more efficient scraper rings. We shall be glad if you will let us have 2 sets of scraper rings like the original ones which you supplied with the Aerolite Pistons; i.e., the width of land .034" instead of .043". Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
