| FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} El/W2.12.31. X 5050. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. CYLINDER HEAD. We send you herewith a print of LeC. 2900. showing improvements to the gas bends on the above. From an inspection of the actual head brought here by HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}, H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} thought that some increase of sectional area was desirable. The inlet bends are now receiving attention in the same way, and particulars will follow with regard to these. RH.{R. Hollingworth} is going to send up some cut up sections of the J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. head if these are available. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
