Hanbury - Head Complaints} 6.8.25. ----------- It is the extreme heat maintained on the lagged portion of the pipe the whole time the engine is running which is the cause of our trouble. 4. We could bend back the pipes to their original form if they distorted during calorizing. Personally, I am inclined to think that the simplest way out of the trouble will be the adoption of Stainless Iron, as the material for our pipes, but in the meantime I think we should press the Calorizing Corporation to complete the pipes, protecting the parts where we have indicated they will have to be brazed later.
