Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KT.25.3.33. CYLINDER LINERS. We have heard from reliable source that the L.G.O.C. have had astonishing results with regard to eliminating wear by use of cast iron liners, the material of which contains a lot of phosphorous. As the L.G.O.C. are in a position to get a very reliable figure for cylinder work we think it would be worth while following up this material. Would it be possible to find out who supplies the liners and obtain some for the Peregrine. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
