| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} x 7080 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT.20.5.33. Attached is a drawing LeC.3494 showing the larger air silencer for the 8 litre Phantom. Will you please make one for test purposes. For our expl. tests we shall not require an air cleaner, we should also like the main silencer tube and inner silencer tube to be extended at each end so that we can adjust them exactly to our requirements. The baffles should also be made so that we can slide them to the correct position. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
