| X2677- To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}10/KT.3.5.33. PETROL PUMPS FOR THE FIRST 15 CHASSIS We shall have to release the Bentley petrol pump to Lec. 3417 for the first Bentley cars together with the small filter. The delivery pipe from the pump to the carburetters should be 5/16" diameter, whilst the remainder of the system should be 1/4" diameter, the reason being that the small suction pipe line does not help us in priming from a dry pipe line, whereas a small delivery line obstructs the flow without giving us any advantage.
