Jenner}22/JH.24.4.40. Two S.U. Carburetter on B.60. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}2.3.40. Please receive herewith PL.174 showing the throttle controls used in conjunction with the original scheme ECD.1258. Although the drain pipes are shown, we shall not detail them until they are found necessary, however, we will fit the union and connections as they exist on the castings. The final deletion of the pipes will be determined by tests for - (1) Flooding under various conditions. (2) The possible fire risk created by the front carburetter being directly above the dynamo commutator. 4 copies of memo. 2 prints of PL.174. Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
