LeC. 2541. I am not very pleased with this.

Is it not better to feed the induction pipe thus -

because the petrol clinging to the wall of the bend would not be so liable to fall into the two nearest gas passages.

I know I asked for the neatest possible scheme, and I believe thought the gas passages A. {Mr Adams} were too long.

We should now go back to long studs and present rocker length.
