X. 477. Will you please instruct for a further three chassis to be rigged up with lagging on the rear swan neck exhaust pipe in accordance with E 3031 tracing herewith. This will require re-issuing as the lagging has been added to drawing recently. 7/4/14 We shall also require 6 off E 4176 Exhaust Pipe Lagging Clips, and I think it would be advisable to obtain one or two clips of the cheaper pattern (Ernest Hill catalogue page 52) for use with a standard bolt and nut. IMMEDIATE. Clip now in stores. EM 23/4/14. L A G G E D S W A N N E C K.{Mr Kilner} Signed. P.H.Dalley. | ||
