Trot Salt - Carburation} X508 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}11/KW.17.7.35. Induction Pipes for Large Bore 20/25's. We require 5 sets in all of the induction pipe and exhaust pipe set up as fitted to 18-G-IV at present. As far as we know, 2 sets only are in existence, one being fitted to 20-G-IV and one to 18-G-IV. We want a set for Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s car and a set for Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car, a fifth set being required for test bed investigation work. If the pattern has been modified for further experimental tests, we can decide whether the modification should stand for the additional castings required, or whether we ought to revert to the original scheme.
