Phantom III Ordinary Rockers.

In connection with the scheme LeC.5441 for the above, we send you LeC.5444 showing the simplified oil pipes as described in memo E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner} 1/HP.22.12.36.

If we can get away with the scheme of ordinary rocker operation there are further economies that can be made to the relief valve. We no longer need the non-return ball valve nor do we need the leak in the seat of the high pressure valve.

LeC.5444 herewith.

E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /JNR. {Charles L. Jenner}
