X5770 We have obtained better results in starting up the 25HP. by a modification to the stand pipe in the induction pipe. We propose to incorporate this modification on all 25HP cars in future production. The modification is the cutting off the pilot pipe of the stand pipe E.51083. at the top of the screwed portion. This leaves the bore the same throughout with no restriction as in the case at present. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
