| X223 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/KW.29.5.35. Exhaust System. We have to carry out the experiment shown on LeC.4514. The only way to get reasonably representative results is to make a casting. As E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} points out, the design he has issued requires a new head. We shall be glad if you could get out an exhaust pipe something similar to the one shown on the existing head, and let us have a look at it. If it can be made up reasonably near the pipe shown on LeC.4514, we will get a casting off for test. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
