(3) Dodd and Wayman should try the raised mounting on 20-G-IV, and alter it to standard mounting, reporting whether the modification affects the slow running. (4) Matthews will report on the semi-split Lockat pistons which have been fitted to C-14:LKM (5) Dodd will take up with the shop the question of getting geared starter motors for all our 20/25 cars.
