| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x508 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 12/KW.5.12.35. 25/30 HP. Induction Pipes. We send you herewith Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 29 scheme, which shows our first attempt at developing a well in the induction pipe to cope with the troubles being encountered on the Stromberg downdraught carburetter, (as mentioned in our memo. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /CTS. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 21/KW.4.12.35). On this drawing Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 29, a new exhaust manifold is shown. This should be ignored, and the complete modification to the induction pipe applied to Ex.19455, altering the exhaust manifold Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2014 to suit.
