Please note that until we issue further instructions Works must continue with old type oil pump for the above, but must not make ahead of actual needs. The trouble is the helical pump seems to be somewhat difficult to prime, but think this disability will be overcome in near future. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
