| BY/Shn2/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}4.2.19. February 4th, 1919. c. to EFC. RE STANDARD CHASSIS ENGINE - COPPER PIPES - X.3512. We attach to Mr Coverley's copy of this memo a blue print of each of the following copper pipes:- INDUCTION PIPES - SECTION 5070. E.3386 - Main Induction Pipe. E.3769 - Branch Induction Pipe. EXTRA CYLINDER LUBRICATION - SECTION 5130. E.16067 - Main Lubrication Pipe. E.16280 - Cylinder Pipe. E.16281 - Cylinder Pipe. OIL FITTINGS. - SECTION 5200. E.16826 - Main Oil Pipe. E.16824 - Wheelcase Oil Pipe. E.16823 - C'case Oil Pipe (Front). E.16822 - C'case Oil Pipe (Centre). E.16825 - C'case Oil Pipe.(Rear). E.16827 - Filter to Pump. E.16965 - Tank to C'case. E.17453 - Main to Extra Cylinder Lubrication. WATER CONNECTIONS - SECTION 5190. E.3357 - Top Water Pipe. E.2078 - Bottom Water Pipe. E.1498 - Water Pipe to Throat. E.1502 - Water Pipe from Throat. E.2468 - Water Pipe to Throttle. E.2469 - Water Pipe from Throttle. CARBURETTER - SECTION 5080. E.17454 - Hot Air Pipe. RADIATOR - SECTION 5250. U.1961 - Radiator Bottom Connection. Will you please instruct up one set of the above pipes to be fitted as soon as possible to the standard chassis, and reported upon under the above X number. We wish to standardise all the copper pipes as given on the above drawings, but before proceeding with the work in bulk it is desirable to see one set complete fitted to our latest chassis engine. Will you please treat the above matter as extremely urgent, as the coppersmiths' department is ready to proceed with the standard pipes. BY/Shn. | ||
