Coverley - Production Engineer} re Continental Phantom II Please receive herewith: LeC.3298 - Hot Spot Feed Pipe. The Experimental department have brought to our notice that the thin steel hot/spot pipe running from the cylinder to the inlet pipe jacket makes a tinny noise. To overcome this complaint we suggest making this pipe a casting in malleable iron, as shown on the drawing. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} [Stamp] RECEIVED DEC 5 1932 H.S. | ||
