It will be necessary to include one of the priming devices, which we think for the moment had better be Mr Hives' pattern. This should, I think, be fitted with the reed pattern of valve suggested by Mr Nadin, and a cock at the front of the dashboard (reaching through the dashboard, so as to make a clean looking job) will give direction to the hand pump arrangement, and will operate the small cock on the induction pipe. I will get Mr Elliott to send sketches of how we think this might be most easily carried out.
