| contd :- -2- WATER LEAKS. At the end of the half hour, the water leak previously observed in A6. cyl. was found to be still present. Weeping was taking place in A5. and B3. as before. When pressure tested by RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} (20 lbs/sq.in.) the leak in A6. was found to be due to a porous casting - no leaks shewed in A5. and B3. so it is thought that the weeping which has been noted on A5. and B3. is due to the effect of heat on the blocks and further investigations are being made.
