A short time ago in R9/G4.2.20 Mr. Royce stated that it was "highly desirable that the breather should be capable of blowing the fumes from the crankchamber outside the undershield or behind the holes for the pedals." This point is referred to in EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}11/F24.2.20. Can you put this work in hand, please, for the purpose of experimenting with it.
