| +209 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.10/KW.7.12.34. Supercharged Unit B-12. We want to try the effect on slow running of eliminating the horizontal bend in the pipe between the blower and the induction manifold. This can be arranged by turning the top section of the blower casing through about 45°. We should like the pipe jacketing all along the straight portion for use as an exhaust or water heated hot spot (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1643 att.) Will you please make us the pipe as soon as possible so that there will be the minimum of delay when we wish to fit it. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
