CJ8/E1/10/25 In your memo. addressed to R.{Sir Henry Royce}, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/LG28/9/25 concerning over-oiling, on Phantom engine, you write: 'So far we have not seen a bad example of an engine for over-oiling'. I presume that you are in touch with the Repair Dept. and EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} in connection with this matter? We sent by train 11 RC.{R. Childs} in order that the people at the Works might see a very bad case of over-oiling. Did you see this? CJ. | ||
