X.2748 [handwritten] [Body] Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG9.6.20., we have no objection in the works to do without a liner, but EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}, was very strong on fitting liners, as it enables engines to be readily changed as far as compression is concerned. I think it should be discussed fully with Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} and EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}, before making a change. [Signature] BY.{R.W.
