In view of the success of Hall's Metal big-end bearings which fit in the existing P.III con.rods, we are putting in hand 12 further sets of these bearings with a view to fitting them to all Experimental cars, and possibly to selected customers' cars, at the earliest possible moment. We presume that this does not require a Project. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
