| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 608 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}1/JH.7.6.37. WRAITH. We send you herewith a scheme Sm.387 of an experimental induction pipe to suit the latest Stromberg carburettor(type A.A.25) Will you please make the necessary detail drawings and produce two of these pipes in brass. The centre section is purposely made detachable, as this is the part which will require most development. Also, if the pipes are made in brass, we can carry out a series of modifications during development without having new parts made. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/C.T.Salt. | ||
