| X219.- To-R.{Sir Henry Royce} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.7/HP.1.10.32. c. Sr. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Bv. re Bensport Cylinder. ------------------- Since the Bensport head with six exhaust ports requires a new cylinder block pattern in any case, owing to its different stud centres, we propose to expand the cylinder centres by the amount you suggest, and make them all 3.625", including the centre section. This will make the .312 studs quite safe as regards the boss section between the cylinder bores, as illustrated on print LeC.3225 herewith. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Print of LeC.3225 attached. | ||
