We shall send you this valve as soon as it is finished.
We can see that air can be trapped in the valve
chamber in the piston, and we propose to send you some
suggestions as to how this can be reduced. If there is
any circulation of oil with the reservoir, air is liable to
be carried round with the circulation. Is it likely that
anything of this kind is happening? We cannot see that the
circulation is anything like fast enough to really produce
this phenomenon.
