| To Mr. Mills from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X2758 9th November, 1916. BY15/G91116. RE CHASSIS 7 CA - WATER INLET PIPES. Referring to Mr. Royce's memo R5/W61116, kindly instruct the works to fit a thin copper water jacket on the inlet branch between the carburettor and the main induction branch. This is to be in overall diameter .375" larger than the pipe, approximately. The joint in the jacket is to be made vertical above and below the pipe. Two 3/8" copper pipes are to be fitted, one at the induction end at 45° to the horizontal upwards, and the other copper connection to be made on the opposite side of the pipe at 45° to the horizontal below the centre line. Any other explanation required would be furnished Mr. Baker by Mr. Heldenby. 3/8" copper connections as used on the aero engines are to be used for making the joint. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
