| Contd. To Bn. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} -2- R2/G1.11.19. should be pinned on the power side, which is the wall of the cylinder that it is on during the downward stroke. This matter may be very important, as it is thought very desirous to let the pistons have continuous oiling by the connecting rods, or by other means, whether the throttle is open or closed. I should prefer that the oil came via the connecting rods, and was on for about one-third of the revolutions as arranged for in connection with the plunger piston. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
