Will you kindly order from the Autovac Manufacturing Co., one Nickel Plated Union Nut and Nipple, as supplied with their Fitting AVC.2, for Goshawk II. The Nipple should be bored for a .250 dia. Pipe. These Parts should be booked up to the Experimental Dept. as they are required to replace similar Pieces, taken by Mr. Hives from an Autovac Tank in our possession, and which we have borrowed from the Works. When the Nut and Nipple come to hand, will you kindly instruct for them to be sent up to this Office, so that we can return the complete Instrument to the Works. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} | ||
