| 608 Ry. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/R.6.5.38. Attached report from Ratcliffe. While this demonstrates that there is obviously no urgency about putting the washer under the carburetter, we think that the drawing should be completed, and that we should run them on our experimental cars and make the changeover as and when convenient. The reduction in carburetter temperature of over 10° cannot but be beneficial. Possibly we could bring in the insulation washer on the second 100 cars. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
