Jenner}3/HP.19.11.36. Phantom III Radiator Steam Pipe. Ref. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/RH.{R. Hollingworth}1/CB.11.11.36. The difficulty of assembling the overflow steam pipe applies to the present radiator, and also to the new design in which the cross bracing is put at the rear of the matrix. We agree that to make the clip detachable would be more practical because the pipe could be made exactly to the form required, and put in position without any subsequent bending. We send you herewith LeC.5380 showing this fixing. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
