| 1044 To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}13/ET.4.10.40 B.60 INDUCTION PIPE (Stromberg AA.{D. Abbot-Anderson}25 Carburetter) We have tested RE.147 and find that certain modifications are desirable. Comparing this with the original trial pipe Exs.1527, it will be recalled that the recess in the outer side wall of the centre chamber should be deleted for tidyness. We now find that this recess is essential. Will you therefore alter RE.147 to suit. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
