| EH. from BN. {W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to R c. to Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} copy Bnl8/W2.7.19. RE MAGNETO CONTROL TUBE ON STANDARD 40/50 CHASSIS. X.3430 During the Conference held in London on June 19th. Mr. Hanbury informed us that he found that the Magneto Control Tube which passes through the engine body gave trouble from the weeping of oil. Will you please look into this and discuss with Mr. Day and with me the possi- bility of fitting an oil tight tube surrounding the control tube, for the purpose of preventing this oil leakage.
