| TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ ORIGINAL E2/M14.9.23. X 3429 RE. FLOATING BUSHES IN CONNECTING RODS. In connection with the above Mr. Royce would like you to investigate whether or not the clearance in the little end becomes larger with a floating bush, as compared with a fixed bush, owing to the ability of the floating bush (the former) to expand more than the bush which is forced in, due to it's/comparative freedom. .
