| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. x7080. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL.2/MJ.13.10.30. PHANTOM 11 CARBURETTER AIR INTAKE. We understand that the P.11 air silencer carturetter is held up pending our final decision. We have carried out a series of tests and have only to complete high speed tests at Brooklands before definitely deciding on the final scheme. This will take three or four days to complete; in the meantime the scheme as outlined in the attached drawing should be proceeded with. It is unlikely that there will be any alterations to this drawing, if there are, they will consist of the removal of one or more of the baffle tubes. There will be no alteration to the top or bottom castings. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. Att. Blue print. | ||
