Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 7/KT. 12. 5. 31. We want to make cams for the 25 HP. on the same lines as those produced for the 40/50 only using the Kestrel short duration high lift cam forms. This will necessitate making the base circle of the cam .950" diameter, but we shall have no difficulty in allowing for this in the valve mechanism. Will you please put two camshafts in hand.
