To DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gy.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gy2/LG19.2.29.

With reference to the attached. We have now received a print of N.sch.2830 and note that you have allowed for a spring controlled valve. We also note that your 100 lbs. pressure is the max. pressure i.e. at the top of the stroke. We believe that Mr. Bijur uses a system in which the 100 lbs. is the minimum pressure i.e. at the bottom of the stroke.
