Edwards}7/CH.3.5.40. re TESTING WORK ON COOLING SYSTEM. ----------------------------- A number of schemes and modifications have been requested on the above section recently, and we give below a summarised list of the work in hand:- (a) WATER PUMP. 1. Modifications to existing B.80 pump, to incorporate the ventilated bearing [strikethrough]cork[/strikethrough] & Morgan Stuart gland assembly. 2. Cast iron rotor of lightened and simpler construction. 3. Water pump casing in cast iron with wall [strikethrough]sections[/strikethrough] reduced as much as possible to keep the weight down.
