| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5000 E3/M29.6.28. INDIA 3. CYL: BLOCK. X.5060 X.5000 We send here-with LeC.2569 shewing the above. It will be remembered that this cyl. block requires a crankchamber of the existing pattern with the exception that the end studs of the middle line require moving out .050" fore and aft to accommodate the larger valves. We think this can be easily arrange on the existing pattern. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
