| Kellogg Air Pump X.949 Extract from E1/CS.10.20. RE VISIT OF MESSRS. HIVES & DAY TO WEST WITTERING(Henry Royce's home town) X.1698. TUESDAY. 5TH OCTOBER. 1920. X.497 X.943. All the details of a suitable air pump, were gone into, comprising crank with bearing each side, auto delivery valve, and mechanically operated inlet, all arranged to be well lubricated and suitble for a speed of, say, 400 revs. It would run about engine speed while pumping, and when engine was running faster than 400 would be disconnected. Oil filter designs were discussed and decided upon, and Kellog specimen of tyre pump examined and condemned by all. The arrangements decided upon seemd so promising that the fitting will probably be capable of adoption by anyone specially desiring such a fitting on any 40/50 HP. chassis. | ||
