| ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & BM. FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} SECRET. E2/M29.9.24. Copy to CL. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C.lll. EXHAUST JOINTS. L9230 With regard to the exhaust joints burning out during the test of EAC. 3. we suggest that you can obtain copper asbestos washers in which the asbestos is entirely enclosed in a copper sheath. Alternatively we could use a machined nipple for the joint instead of the end of the pipe, and so provide a good face that would require no soft washer. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
