408 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} c. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Mcs. c. By/CS. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}30.5.38. BENTLEY III INDUCTION SYSTEM. We are at the present time in the position of having no control details or induction pipe details to suit the small carbs and consequently are having to "mock up" these parts on engines. Further to the request for the above in the memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}9/JH.28.4.38 which includes the automatic starting device we have now decided to delete the mixture control which is shown on ECD.617/8 otherwise all the parts for which drawings are required are covered in the above memo. We should like to get these drawings as soon as possible in order to avoid "mocking up" of parts affected. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} | ||
