The one engine of the senior rationalised range which has not yet been detailed is a dry liner aluminium block with no water between the cylinders, 3 1/4 bore. We believe there should be no difficulty in your making the necessary detailed drawing from the schemes you already had for the aluminium engine and the cast iron unit without water between bores. Will you please get Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH to produce a detail drawing of this engine. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
