Phantom III Induction System.

We send you herewith LeC 5011 of a float chamber drain pipe enlarged in accordance with the Expl. Dept's request, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}8/JH.20.2.36.

The modification which consists of enlarging the pipe from 3/16ths. to 5/16ths will necessitate a modified tapping on the float chamber lid{A. J. Lidsey} and modified connections as indicated on the scheme.

We have also taken this opportunity to modify the banjo on the drain from the accelerator pump well to use standard Bentley parts.

We should be pleased if RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} could rig this up as soon as possible for test.

Att: LeC 5011.
