R.R. 493A (50 H) (D.D. 31, 12-6-25) J.H.D. EXPERIMENTAL REPORT. -2- Expl. No. REF: Ha/ACL/L/G161125 circular plates and turning the handle did not, as is claimed, clean the instrument. After removing the strainer, no trouble was experienced, the particles of fluff apparently being sufficiently small to pass through the jets without choking them. There was also a slight leakage of petrol from the gland in the filter. Ha/A.C.Lovesey. | ||
