| X.3823 E3/M14.11.25. To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. RG.{Mr Rowledge} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EAGLE 16. WATER CONNECTIONS. We sned heerewith drawing LeC.2164 shewing the remainder of the water connections for Eagle 16., namely those joining the lower and upper cyl. blocks together. We have departed slightly from the original scheme so as to enable the engine to be suiatble either for a pusher or a tractor. The main connections from the bottom block now slope right and left in passing upwards, and the 2 upper cyl. blocks are joined together with a small connection purely for drainage. With regard to the outlet water connections on the top cyl. blocks we shall not be able to draw anything for these until we deal with installing the engine in a plane, but we should be glad if you would supply the necessary particulars for elbows to suit the test plate tackle.
