Re: 25/30 HP. Piston Seizures.


Referring to BY.14/G.29.6.38, and your
request for the angle of the chamfer, kindly note
this should be 45°.

We are attaching a copy of Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Swdl. {Len H. Swindell} 19/MH. {M. Huckerby}
5.7.38, from which you will note the Petrol Drain
Valve is a suspect of this trouble, and I should
like you to arrange for the inspection as suggested,
and let us know the results in due course.
