| 300a To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} . to GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}21/JH.26.4.37. With reference to your memo. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}4/JAB.24.4.36. regarding pump failure in 35-EX. We would be glad if you would let us know the under bonnet temperature and where it was taken when the failure took place and approximate standing time. The air temp. outside does not give us much information. In the event of any recurrence of this trouble, we would like to have the petrol temperature in the tank and if possible the petrol temperature to the pumps. Also can the trouble be reproduced with only the double pumps working. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
