| 1129 HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed{J. L. Edwards}1/R.14.12.36. Single Cylinder Chassis Unit. Will you please make a carburetter intake pipe to SCT.51, and an induction pipe to SCT. for the above unit, as these will shortly be required. The intake pipe is the more urgent of the two. Main Engine Motoring Rig. Will you please make two tachometer drives for the above rig, as the one previously in use has seized. The new drives have been modified to give slightly increased clearance, which it is hoped will minimise the risk of failure. Drawings (Sct.53) are attached.
