X.3144. Re Water Pumps.

Would you kindly note that we would like to know the results of using a rotor of the paddle type which runs quite clear of the casing, as soon as possible.

This pump we are proposing to adopt in the future in a modified form, and we should like to know what we can expect quantitatively from it.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
