Coupling and Connecting rod material acquired

We have manged to negotiate a good deal for the material to manufacture the coupling and connecting rods. As such we now have some billet in stock at Somers Forge ready for when we can afford to forge the rods. The material is around 50% of the cost of the forged blanks so an option we could not refuse at present. The material is now available for sponsorship and depending on funds we hope to turn these billets into forgings in the near future. If the material is sponsored we then have the money to pay for the forging. If you can help look at the ‘Sponsor a Part page https://www.churchwardcounty.org.uk/sponsor-a-part/ or contact the Treasurer for details.
