| TO BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to HJ. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} El/M16.8.27. 17-8-27 H F-O (9774 X8040 X8050 re. BLUE SPORTS CHASSIS. We thank you for blueprints received in response to our request for detail drawings of the cylinder head and piston in use on the above chassis. These prints however appear to shew the first type of head instructed, whereas we understood the combustion space shape had been modified to comply with our drawing LeC. 2230., which has a double lift head, and that the piston had in accordance with our recommendation been made flat topped, and brought level with the top of the cylinder block. If these modifications are in use we should be glad to have prints of the detail drawings. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
