| To By: V350-6 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}25/KW.31.7.34. BIJUR PIPES. We have recently in the Experimental Dept. had three cases of Bijur Pipes breaking. This has resulted in the extremities of the system drying up, such as the spring shackles, etc., and would entail a very costly overhaul if it happened on a customer's car. We do not know whether there is anything more we can do with regard to the quality of the material, but in view of these failures perhaps you would go over the matter again.
