Herewith a scheme drawing of the Induction Pipe for the Straight 8 engine. We want to treat this pipe experimentally in the same way as the six-cylinder which you have recently drawn for us, but in the case of the 8 we shall limit our test to the Duplex Carburetter with various types of pipe, etc. Will you please discuss the matter with CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}, and make the necessary detail drawing. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
