WIRING -SEC: 7360. --------------------- Herewith please receive one Blueprint of :- F.51989-Enlarged Conduit in Frame to carry Magneto Earthing Cable, to be produced and fitted to Experimental chassis. It will be noted that we have run a .750 dia. Conduit forward from the Cross Piece in Frame, instead of a .625 dia. Conduit as at present. This .750 diameter Conduit has an extra Beading-P.51778 sweated on for the Magneto Cable, and is fitted with a 3/4" to 5/8" Reducer at the front end where it passes through the 5th Cross Member. The above drg. shows all the modifications necessary when fitting Magnetos as the Casings on the Dash will remain as at present. It is proposed to bring this in on Production as soon as possible, whether Magnetos are fitted or not. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} [Signature] [STAMP: HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1922 RECEIVED] | ||
