Bentley.

I am enclosing cylinder wear results from Kingsbury as promised.

The results of the lubricated cylinders via. the con rod are indicated by a red line. I think you will find them interesting.

The result from Paris will be along shortly giving more detail. The cars being driven faster. I thought more details of the wear of the bore would give us valuable information.
