| -2- SUMMARY (1) LeC.3488 scheme run on J.B.LV. car because nothing else available at time. (2) Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 415 scheme developed to save cost - approx. £1. cheaper than LeC.3488 scheme and utilise thermostat unit made in large quantities. Water press. 50 lbs/sq.in. (3) ECD.182 scheme adopted to save cost. (approx 15/- cheaper than LeC.3488 scheme) and in order to take advantage of experience with thermostat unit used in Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 415 scheme, while reducing water pressure to which unit is subjected. Water press. 25 lbs/sq.in. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /S.L.L. | ||
