ORIGINAL (Stamp) R3/M24.3.26. Copy to CJ. (Struck through) DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} (Struck through) re. AUTOVAC. BRENNSTOFF DOPPEL SAUGER. X3575 (Handwritten) To me this scheme is not so good as the present standard, for many reasons. (1) It does not work with a reservoir, or permit the use of a large one. (2) The discharge into the induction pipe would be less often, but large quantities at a time. If you agree let us dismiss it. R.{Sir Henry Royce} (Stamp: RECEIVED 29 MAR 1926 H8) | ||
