He was in charge of engine manufacturing.Someone who had been on a tour of banner lane told me how a nut in the gearbox had to be torqued and was essential it was done.

Never short of parts books or maintenance manuals, he would just ring publication and have them sent to his office, he got me the piston tool and a valve seat cutter, but they were well used and being replaced by new ones and would have only ended in the scrap bin.Bet that was useful back in the day
